Network Basics Bob and Sally example on page 99 – Read and understand address resolution

Ethernet Basics Collision domain is Broadcase domain is CSMA/CD is Half-duplex and full-duplex* are

Full-duplex points to remember (104) There are no collisions in What is required for each full-duplex host? What must be capable of running in full-duplex mode for it to work?
