Good point. I was thinking the 1970s might be too late, even if the 1940s 
was too early. ;-)

The 4-wire to 2-wire connection is important to know about because it 
represents an impedance mismatch and may cause echo. It's called the 
hybrid. The change from 2 wire to 4 wire lets the network apply 
amplification in just one direction, from what I understand. For the 
various Cisco classes that cover voice, you need to know about the hybrid.

I mostly work above the physical layer, as you can probably tell. ;-) But 
even a minimal understanding of the physical layer is helpful for 
understanding full duplex, half duplex, etc.

It's not sad. Most serial, WAN technologies have been full duplex for so 
long that the question just doesn't come up. Each side has a dedicated 
transmit circuit (pair of wires), separate from the receive circuit. On a 
T1 link, to use your example, each side can transmit 1.544 Mbps. The two 
sides can do this simultaneously.

Old style WAN links used a single cable, like the string between two cans 
in the game we played as kids. They were half duplex and required a station 
to send a Go Ahead message to tell the other side it was its turn. You sill 
see remnants of this in protocols used today. Telnet has a Go Ahead message 
for example. (It's not used anymore, though.)

The LAN people stole the "full duplex" term to refer to Ethernet switched, 
point-to-point links, which are no longer really CSMA/CD. They aren't 
multiple access (MA) and since there's no chance of someone else using your 
transmit circuit, there's no need to do CS either. Each side has its own 
dedicated transmit pair. Big deal. That's been the case on WANs since like 
the 1940s or something. Well, maybe the 1970s.

Old-style Ethernet used coax cable. There wasn't a separate transmit and 
receive pair. All devices shared the cable. Think about what a coax cable 
looks like: single, center copper core, surrounded by cladding. Bits sent 
by one station radiate outwards to all other stations who have no choice 
but to receive them. This isn't really "half duplex" and nobody called it 
"half duplex" until the time when the Ethernet people borrowed the term 
"full duplex" to refer to the point-to-point link between a device and its 
switch port.

That's my take, anyway!

operation is always quoted therefore to make the distinction from the default.

2. Serial lines, however, since the late seventies-early eighties have been
by default a full duplex offering.  Therefore FDX is assumed unless
otherwise stated.

3. My comments were not ment to offend but supposed to be funny.  Humour on

I take exception to this comment.  If there is one thing that is *preached*
by Cisco is that the main advantage of utilizing switches over hubs is that
your clients can now operate in full duplex mode, 200Mbps in the case of
FastEthernet.  If you read on Cisco's site about FastEtherchannel, it
mentions that it is based on the 802.3 full-duplex standard, but then
virtually everywhere else bandwidth is talked about they say "bandwidth" not
"full-duplex bandwidth".  From one of many pages on FastEtherchannel:

"Fast Ethernets to provide 400+ Mbps between the wiring closet and the data
center, while in the data center bandwidths of up to 800 Mbps can be
provided between servers and the network backbone to provide large amounts
of scalable incremental bandwidth"

So I do believe that my original statement was correct...

My example I gave with the T1 to an ISP was probably misleading because of
possible SLAs, etc.  Let's change that to a point-to-point T1 link.  I can
only conclude that the total available bandwidth on such a link would be
~3Mbps (1.5Mbps possible throughtput in each direction).  That's the only
thing that makes sense given we know it's full-duplex.

If you trully beleive this then I fear your are destined for that dark place
which is marketing.  Ok it is not incorrect but does not give the full

Getting back to the original question I beleive it is possible to run 2Mbps
full duplex across a serial link.  The restriction you quote I think may be

RE: Serial links [7:28270]

2001-12-06 Thread Michael Williams

One last thing from me, and I'll shut up.  =)

I have to yield the floor here to an authority.  I'm sure that serial links
can (and many times do) operate in full-duplex mode, but I cannot say that I
know for a fact that when you have a 2Mbps serial line that it doesn't yield
4Mbps of total bandwidth (2Mbps each way).

I can only speculate what I think I know.  =)  I've always been under the
impression that when you have, for instance, a T1 to an ISP that you could
utilize 1.544Mbps of bandwidth whether incoming or outgoing (i.e. if you
were downloading at 1Mbps, then you had ~.5mbps left for uploads), but that
seems to contradict my belief that the same T1 line operates in full-duplex
mode (which would limit incoming to 768Kbps and outgoing to 768Kbps).

So I'm more than willing to hear the true explanation of this
situation...

RE: Serial links [7:28270]

2001-12-06 Thread Michael Williams

RB,

First, you can't simply look at a speed and say "it's half or full
duplex".   Full duplex simply means it can send data while simultaneously
receiving data.

As far as that datasheet, you left out the rest of that sentence you quoted,
which says, "which can be realized over one port (at 8 Mbps) or across all
four ports (at 2 Mbps on each port)."  Obviously they're discussing
bandwidth limitations of the module itself.

If you look closely at what that is saying, it's saying that MODULE can
communicate at up to 8Mbps.  I don't believe this is the same as what we're
talking about when we talk about a serial link at 1.544Mbps or the like and
whether that port is half/full duplex.

Each port on the NM-4T is capable of supporting 2Mb full-duplex, 2Mb
upstream and 2Mb downstream.

The card has a total 8Mb Full-Duplex throughput.  You can actually have 8Mb

all the channels are bonded together.

Michael,

Is this so??

If so then it is not full-duplex but half-duplex.  So why then do cisco say
this:

The NM-4T serial network module has four synchronous serial interfaces. The
network module supports a total full-duplex throughput of 8 megabits per
second (Mbps),

on this data sheet:

And that 2048Kbps is your in and out speeds combined.  So you are correct
that, if you are using ~1.5Mbps for incoming data, you would only be able to
utilize .5Mbps for outgoing data.

Charles,

Serial lines are full duplex, actual line speed is 2048Kbps.

Serial links [7:28270]

2001-12-06 Thread Charles Dowling

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if the real bandwidth of a permanent 2Mb serial PPP
connection is.  What I mean by this is, if you had equal amount of
traffic in both directions would you effectively haf 1Mb up and 1Mb down
or would it be 2Mb up and 2Mb down.  Is a serial connection full duplex
or half duplex?

Thanks,
Charles.
