Full duplex provides what percentage of the standard Ethernet bandwidth?
111426
Actually full duplex (theoretically) provides 200% of (twice) the "standard" bandwith. In normal (half duplex) operation a machine can either talk or listen but not do both at the same time. In full duplex a machine can both talk and listen at the same time each at the "standard" bandwidth.

That's the maximum bandwidth. You'll never have all the time that ammount. Ask them what's the minimum bandwidth guarantee and the usual one. They should tell you because it's written in the contract!

Yup. \n\nWhat you've been told about sounds very much like Dynamic Configuration Host Protocol (DHCP). It's an Internet standard (specified in a standards track RFC and adopted by the Internet Engineering Task Force). It came about in part because the Internet was getting large enough that the 32-bit IPv4 addresses were beginning to run out. Partly because there have come to be a lot of devices on the Internet, and partly because of the way they were originally assigned (in class blocks, Class A, Class B, Class C, etc).\n\nThe IPv6 standard (if ever universally adopted) will cure much of this because IPv6 addresses are much longer (64 bits). This is enough to assign  every grain of sand on the planet its own IP address. Not yet, alas, but sometime. Maybe. \n\nRather than assigning each device a more or less permanent IP address (called a 'static' address), the DHCP idea is to 'lease' an address for a time (a day, a week, etc); usually renewal able. The idea is that not every computer requires access to the Internet at all times. Outside business hours, for instance. \n\nEvery device which is to participate in the DHCP scheme must have software installed to manage its end of the DHCP exchange, and there must be a DHCP server device to handle the central side of the DHCP leasing. And, of course, there must be some kind of physical data connection before DHCP can assign anything (Ethernet (10, 100, 1000 in the twisted pair cable group) and WiFi (a, b, g, n are the most important) are the best known). \n\nBecause IP addresses can be reused, this scheme has reduced  some of the demand for static IP addresses, and, more importantly, has substantially eliminated the requirement of half an hour's work configuring a machine for Internet use. When the computers can manage it themselves, humans can do other things. Especially when there are 4000 workstations to be configured.

There are some very good bandwidth calculators available online. Here is the one I use: http://www.numion.com/Calculators/

Hi,\n\nWhen you purchase your cable, grab a Cat5 cable.  Both Cat5 and Cat3 are standard cable types when it comes to ethernet.  Cat5 provides for a higher transmission rate than Cat3.\n\n99% of the time any cable you buy will be a Cat5 cable these days... Yes, ethernet = Cat5...  Hope this helps!

get a 5 port 10/100/1000 gigabit NIC\njust so you can be leet and suck up all your LANs bandwidth

5.5 will be your max.\n\nThe speed depends on how far away from your exchange you live. I live a long way from mine too, I get about 2.5mb on an 8mb bandwidth.\n\nOh well.

There's no single size; it depends on the medium.  On Ethernet, the most common size is about 1500 bytes, because a lot of Ethernet controllers used to have that as a packet size limitation.  If a link somewhere on the path requires a smaller packet size (not likely, these days), the longer packets will be broken down into the acceptable size.\n\nThe minimum size which a computer has to accept to be connected to the Internet is 576 bytes.

It all depends on what you mean by "fuse" and what type of internet connections are you talking about?\n\nIt's easy enough to combine bandwidth on two different internet connections for traffic outbound. Making the traffic come back to you on a "fused" pipe is difficult especially if both internet connections are to different ISPs.\n\n\nCheck out www.fatpipeinc.com and \n          www.xroadsnetworks.com

Standard voice-over-IP uses about 100kbps.  Something like Vonage will use slightly less.  If you have cable or DSL with like a 3mbps service or better, you won't notice the extra load.

Probably they each have many connections, almost certainly all fiber.   OC-48, OC-192 are likely.  Those are roughly 2.5 and 9.6 gigabits per second, respectively.

network connections > right click connection > properties > configure > advanced > speed settings (possibly named differently) > pick one\n\nnote that auto detection is the best way to go, because forcing a duplex mode can cause worse performance

I don't know what this "COM" you keep saying is, but if you are running a single ethernet cable straight from one PC to another, then you need to make sure its a CROSSOVER cable. Otherwise you'd have to stick a hub or switch inbetween the two.
