Actually not, since congestion in the full duplex situation is seen as
lost packets instead of collisions, which makes the backoff in the full
duplex situation a matter of the end to end protocol stack, making the
retransmission a matter of seconds instead of milliseconds.
This is very bad for the throughput:)
This is only avoided if ALL devices involved support Flow Control packets.
