Full duplex

Full duplex is a type of data transmission technology that allows data to be both sent and received simultaneously over the same transmission path. This is different from half duplex, which allows data to be sent only one direction at a time. Full duplex capabilities are increasingly becoming the norm in computing, telecommunications, and other data transmission technologies.

A full duplex system consists of two or more endpoints that are connected by a duplex transmission channel. This channel allows both endpoints to simultaneously send and receive data over the same connection. This is similar to how two people in a telephone conversation can speak to each other at the same time – each person can talk and listen at the same time. Most modern networks use full duplex technology to transmit data.

Full duplex technology has several advantages over half duplex technology. Full duplex systems can transmit data twice as fast, and they are more efficient as they are not limited by the transmission speed of one direction. Additionally, full duplex systems reduce latency, or the delay in data transmission, by sending and receiving data at the same time.

Full duplex technology is commonly found in networking technologies such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It is also used in telephone systems, cell phones, two-way radios, satellite systems, and cable TV systems. Full duplex technology is also used in programming languages such as Java, C, and C++ to create client-server applications.

Full duplex technology has made modern data transmission faster and more efficient, allowing data to be sent and received faster and with less latency. This makes data transmission more reliable and allows for smoother communication over a variety of applications.
