I think full duplex is not possible in case of stop and wait(i.e, at sender side after sending 1st packet, it waits for acknowledgement. After receiving acknowledgement from receiver then only it is going to send another packet). So i think it is half duplex. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
