Gigabyte 1024 Megabytes, or 1,073,741,824 bytes (characters) of information.

A network transfer mode that allows the for NIC to transmit and receive data simultaneously. Most often used with Ethernet, although both of the NIC's and hub have to support it. This effectively doubles the effective throughput of a connection.

Indicates bi-directional data flow in terms of data flow.

A communication channel over which both transmission and reception are possible in two directions at the same time. A standard telephone line is a full duplex system because people on either end of the connect can simultaneously speak while listening to sounds coming from the other end.

Full duplex operation is the ability of a sound card to simultaneously record and play back. This makes it possible to play a piece of music via your sound card and record a singing track via the same card at the same time.

The capability for simultaneous data transmission between a sending station and a receiving station (both directions at the same time).

The term full-duplex means the transmission of data in two directions simultaneously as from a terminal to a computer or from the computer to the terminal. Full-duplex is simultaneous two-way communication.

Network connection type that provides for network nodes sending and receiving data at the same time, thus doubling the theoretical "speed limit" of connections. For example, normal fast Ethernet, at 100 MBps, runs at half duplex. With switched connections, which allow full duplex, the transmission speed is 200 MBps.
