| Wrong thinking in the explanation of full-duplex. It asks an easy question "which of the following are true about full duplex" and the answers given seem correct, but then the explanation says "less, if any, collisions." implying that they might still happen but much less frequently. (!!!!????)
OK from what I know, there are two communication pairs in working full-duplex, one from A to B and the other from B to A, and there is nothing else that can share those wires. A NIC can only send out ONE packet at a time so the possibility of a collision is ZERO.
If there is some nonzero possibility of a collision on full duplex, someone please tell us how!! thanks | |

| I wouldn't call it full-duplex if a mismatch was configured, but what do I know??? 
so what happens in that case? (must be the only configuration error I HAVEN'T made hehe) I would think it would just not work at all and counting collisions would be the least of your problems. | |
