With stop&wait flow control max throughput is always 50% of the max line bit rate, Full duplex helps very little on this. protocol like sftp are of this type. Better flow control methods like sliding windows is very sensitive to the latency of ACK packets. typical efficency of s-window is ~60% on half dulplex and 80% on full duplex. 100% efficency is nvr achived with a single s-window connection though. http/ftp belong to this cat. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? http://bb.yahoo.co.jp/
