Hello,
My understanding is that for 1G and 10G optical networks, there is no =
concept of half-duplex mode, but I=E2=80=99m unclear about half duplex =
in the 100M optical world. Specifically, if I connect two 100Base-LX =
(or BX) transceivers together, is there a requirement for the =
controller(s on either side) to select between full or half duplex, =
either by static configuration, or auto-negotiation?
Thanks!
