Briefly explainthe different types of transmissions with respect to the direction in which transmitted data can move.

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary. The different types of transmissions can be distinguished by the direction in which transmitted data can move.Simplex transmission-Data travels in a single direction only. Simplex transmission is relatively uncommon in data transmissions because most devices that are mainly one-directional, such as a printer, can still transmit error messages and other data back to the computer.Half-duplex transmission-Data can travel in either direction, but only in one direction at a time. Some network transmissions are half-duplex.Full-duplex transmission-Data can move in both directions at the same time.Many network and most Internet connections are full-duplex; sometimes two connections between the sending device and receiving device are needed to support full-duplex transmissions. Please see the section "Data Transmission" for more information.
