CSMA/CD Gb-Ethenet

Oct 30, 2006 1 Replies

Hi,



I have read in an ethernet tutorial that Gb-Ethernet does not use CSMA/CD protocol when it operates in full-duplex mode, but uses that protocol only when operating in half-duplex mode. Could someone help me understand this or am I missing something? How can one achieve 1Gb rate and still not use CSMA/CD.



Thanks in advance.



Yep.

No need as there would not be any collisions, as you have a separate transmit and receive path.
