One more case when sender sends the data and waiting for ack ,receiver recieve the data and send ack + data but it gets delay somehow and sender gets time out .now sender sending again data and delayed ack+data coming to sender ,in this piggybacking is full duplex.i think piggybacking may be full duplex or half duplex 0 votes 0 votes Jaydeep gupta 1 commented May 16, 2018 reply Follow Share according to you it is half duplex ?? 0 votes 0 votes Prateek Raghuvanshi commented May 16, 2018 reply Follow Share I don't think so 0 votes 0 votes Jaydeep gupta 1 commented May 16, 2018 reply Follow Share ok, thanks!!! 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
