Transmission Methods
2 modes are available for data transmission in ETHERNET networks:
•
Half duplex
-
An ETHERNET device can only send or receive data at one time.
-
Collision detection (CSMA/CD) is enabled.
-
The length of the network is limited by the propagation delays of the
devices and transmission media.
•
Full duplex
-
An ETHERNET device can send and receive data at the same time.
-
Collision detection (CSMA/CD) is disabled.
-
The length of the network only depends on the performance limits of
the send and receive components used.
