Täysdupleksisia

Täysdupleksisia refers to a state or capability in telecommunications and networking where data can be transmitted and received simultaneously in both directions. This is often contrasted with half-duplex communication, where data can only flow in one direction at a time, and simplex communication, where data flows in only one direction always. In a full-duplex system, a device can send data at the same time another device is receiving data, and vice versa. This significantly increases the efficiency and speed of communication.

The implementation of full-duplex is common in modern networking technologies. For instance, Ethernet connections in most local area networks operate in full-duplex mode. This allows a computer to send data to a server while simultaneously receiving data from that server without any collisions or delays caused by alternating transmission directions. Telephone conversations are another everyday example of full-duplex communication, where both parties can speak and hear each other at the same time.

Achieving full-duplex typically requires separate transmission and reception paths. This can be accomplished using different frequencies for sending and receiving, or by employing physical separation of the transmission and reception signals. The benefits of full-duplex include higher throughput, reduced latency, and a more natural and responsive communication experience. It is a fundamental concept for efficient data transfer in many contemporary communication systems.
