- $Can someone give me a detailed discription on half vs full duplexing.

- Simple, really. In full duplex transmission, data can flow in
- both directions simultaneously. In half duplex transmission, data
- can flow in only one direction at a time. There's a state between
- these, usually called asymmetric full duplex, in which data can flow
- in both directions, but at different rates.
