Chapter 1 23
Full and Half Duplex Ethernet

Half Duplex Full Duplex

One wire is used to connect the Two wires are used to connect the
networks and transmit the data networks and transmit the data
Chances of collision if client and There are no chances of collision
server transmit data
simultaneously
It uses Carrier Sense Multiple CSMA/CD not required hence the
Access with Collision Detection data transmission rate is 100
(CSMA/CD) protocol percent
