Ideally one should have a separate cable flowing the other way, too, so that ACKs aren't unduly delayed.
- wolfgke 12y agoThis can probably easily lead to problems with even slight differences in cable length. A network technician told me about problem that can occur in the network when the connecting fibres of ethernet outlets have differences in length (say, more than few millimeters).
- danellis 12y agoGigabit Ethernet already does have different conductors flowing in different directions.
- Dylan16807 12y agoOnly if you're using fiber. As far as copper: 10mbit ethernet uses one wire pair in each direction at a low frequency. 100mbit ethernet uses one wire pair in each direction at a high frequency. 1gbit ethernet uses all four pairs simultaneously in both directions at the same[1] frequency as 100mbit. Which is why wolfgke mentions problems when the different pairs aren't the same length. [1] Mostly. It's complicated.
- danellis 12y agoAh, yes, it was 100baseTX I was thinking of.
