contention
Explanation:
contention refers to the 'fight' that can occur when two or more terminals try to use the connection at the same time.

The "número máximo de terminales" referred to in the question, erroneously called 'contención', is the max. number of terminals that can 'contend' successfully for the connection simultaneously. The definition in the question is not correct.

That said, 'contención' (= a method of organizing access to a connection) = 'contention' in English.
