Gigabit Ethernet; Full Duplex - SMC Networks TigerSwitch SMC6128PL2 Installation Manual

Gigabit Ethernet

A 1000 Mbps network communication system based on Ethernet and the
CSMA/CD access method.

Full Duplex

Transmission method that allows two network devices to transmit and
receive concurrently, effectively doubling the bandwidth of that link.
