A network device can be configured to dynamically vary a total back-off duration. The network device can determine a total transmit duration for transmitting data on a communication medium. If the total transmit duration exceeds a predetermined transmit interval associated with the data, the network device can determine the total back-off duration based, at least in part, on the total transmit duration and the predetermined transmit interval. The network device can initiate the total back-off duration by deferring data transmission on the communication medium during the total back-off duration. In some embodiments, if the network device implements multiple consecutive back-off intervals, the network device can determine whether to vary the duration of a second back-off interval depending on whether a transmission by another network device is detected on the communication medium after a first back-off interval elapses. |
