Which of the following are unique characteristics of half-duplex Ethernet when compared to full-duplex Ethernet?

1.Half-duplex Ethernet operates in a shared collision domain.

2.Half-duplex Ethernet operates in a private collision domain.

3.Half-duplex Ethernet has higher effective throughput.

4.Half-duplex Ethernet has lower effective throughput.

  • A.2 only
  • B.1,2 and 3
  • C.1 and 4
  • D.
    4 only

Answer: C

Correct answer: 1 and 4

Half-duplex Ethernet cannot send and receive at once, so every station shares one collision domain and must use CSMA/CD to detect and recover from collisions. Full duplex has a separate path each way, so collisions cannot occur and collision detection is switched off.
