Which of the following is a characteristic of full-duplex communication?

Which of the following is a characteristic of full-duplex communication?

A.  It is a CSMA/CD network.
B.  It is a CSMA/CA network.
C.  It is point-to-point only.
D.  Hub communication is done via full duplex.

Answer: C. It is point-to-point only.

Explanation:

The meaning of full duplex in computer network simply refers to a device can send and receive data without collision. Whereas Half duplex refers a device can either send or receive data. But it cannot do both at the same time.

CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) a set of rules determining how
network devices respond when two devices attempt to use a data channel simultaneously (called a collision).

CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) is a
protocol for carrier transmission in 802.11 networks. Unlike CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) which deals with transmissions after a collision has occurred, CSMA/CA acts to prevent collisions before they happen.

Hub is a half duplex device whereas switch is full duplex.

Cisco Packet Tracer Multi User Connection

Multiuser communication allows multiple point-to-point (peer) connections between multiple instances of Packet Tracer. By allowing communication between Packet Tracer instances, a new door has been opened to a fun, interactive, social, collaborative, and competitive learning environment. Instructors will now be able to create a variety of activities for students to learn in groups that will facilitate greater social interaction between students. Students will benefit from this environment by working together to solve problems and share ideas. Both students and teachers should take full advantage that Multiuser will offer in their learning environment. Technical Information Communicates between instances using PTMP. PTMP is TCP based. By default, uses TCP port 38000, is customizable, and each new instances on the same PC will use the next available port. On by default. UPnP will attempt to establish port forwarding to facilitate home networks. All network co...
