After studying the different topologies of a network, now let's look at how the data is transmitted between two different devices. When it comes to communications, we have three main transmission categories:
- Simple mode: This mode occurs when the data is flowing in only one direction. This type is widely used in television broadcasting (you can only send data from a source to monitor and not the opposite).
- Half-duplex mode: In this type of transmission, the data goes in both directions using a single means of communication at a time, such as ping-pong mode; you can't send and receive a message at the same time.
- Full-duplex mode: This mode is used when the data flow is bi-directional and simultaneous, like the mode used ...
