a 3 com 3c905b tx question..........

[GrumpyMan]

Which is better to run a Nic card on ( 3com 3c905b tx ) for ADSL PPPoe in full duplex or half duplex mode, any one know?

 

[anthrax]

full duplex...don't see why u would use half duplex mode.. but I honestly haven't seen any difference in perfomance thou.....U use the EnterNet PPPoE client rite?

Always full, half will give you 500kb/s (approx.) or 5000kb/s (approx.) depending on whether you do 10 or 100mbit, and full will do 1000kb/s (approx.) or 10000kb/s (approx.), it has to do with being able to send and recieve at the same time, half means that it will only send, or recieve, but not both at one time, full does both constantly.

Ok thanks that makes sense. And yes I use a PPPoe client.
