  • 1.  1Gbps full duplex = 2 Gigs of data (1Gig in each direction)?

    Posted Mar 21, 2006 08:20 AM
    I have a general throughput question, if I have a 1 Gbps full duplex link, that means that I can send 1 Gbps and receive 1 Gbps, so does this mean I have a maximum of 2Gb of data travelling per second as long as I don't expect to exceed 1G in each direction? Or is it less?

    Also the same for T1 full? Does this mean 1.54Mbps in both directions at a time, so this is 3Mbps maximum?

    I don't know what T1 is, but I believe your supposition is correct about 1Gbps full duplex ethernet being 1 in each direction at the same time, as long as your switch hardware can support full wire-speed processing at the ports.

    It is the same for the T1, 1.54Mbps full duplex, both directions is ~3Mbps

    the theory says yes. 1gbit in each direction will and end-system at least will depend heavily on the I/O bus and cpu "oomph" in the system

    This question is about marketing vs technical bandwidth calculation. Depending from the situation you can count you like mostly. :)
