You have 10 users plugged into a hub running 10Mbps half-duplex. There is a server connected to the switch running 10Mbps half-duplex as well. How much bandwidth does each host have to the server?
100 kbps
1 Mbps
2 Mbps
10 Mbps
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Each device has 10 Mbps to the server.

If it is full duplex?

Hub and switch are designed in such a way that there should not be any change in the frequency, if frequency remain same so as the bandwidth remain same, the only chances are for data collision.

Can anyone please explain clearly how much speed hub and switch take ?

Pankaj said:   1 decade ago
I think, Hub can broadcast which means to all but one time one user will only use full bandwidth.

It's 10mb more study on half duplex will help you understand.

I believe it is 10mb.

However, with half duplex, it is shared access CSMA/CD. Since only one person can successfully transmit at one time, it is still 10 mb.

If it was full duplex, the throughput would be 20mb with multiple collision domains.

I want the explanation please give me.

Half duplex is called half because it's is half so we can call it half.

So from above statement it's clear that each user have 10 mbps.

In a half duplex (HDX) transmission, a data packet is sent by one system and received by the other. Another data packet cannot be sent until the receiving system sends an acknowledgement back to the sender.

In a full duplex (FDX) transmission, both the sending and receiving systems communicate with each other simultaneously; in other words, both modems can send and receive data at the same time. This means a modem can be receiving a data packet while acknowledging the receipt of another.

Revise the concept of half duplex and full duplex in networking. It will be easier to understand this logic then.
