Hi, I have a networking fundamental question. I understand that full duplex means a 2 way simultaneous communication. Does that mean in a 1Gb link, traffic out can send at 1Gb and Receive at 1Gb simultaneously (2Gb) or does it mean, data can move 2 ways on that 1Gb link but shares that 1Gb link.
I believe it's my first assumption. I'm having some network utilization issue on one of my server. In Windows resource monitor, it's saying I'm using 800-900Mbps Network I/O, network utilization at 80-90%. How is this possible when I'm using perfmon to monitor the send and receive. Send averages 400Mbps, Receive averages 450Mbps.
If I'm running full 1Gb duplex, shouldn't the server have plenty of cushion for send/receive traffic? it appears it's maxing out because the combine send/receive is near 1Gbps.
Any help, ideas and knowledge would be appreciated!!
