Full Duplex Ethernet
CSMA/CD is half duplex
- Only one station may transmit at a time
- Others must wait
- Because transmission system is shared
If station or hub connects directly to a hub,
- The access line is not shared
- Some 100Base-X and 1000Base-X hubs and NICs support full duplex operation
- Disable CSMA/CD
