[General] What are the requirements for Full Duplex?

For a network to support Full Duplex, both devices must support and be configured for Full Duplex. Full Duplex is intended to increase the speed of a direct link between two devices; i.e., between switches or between a workstation and a switch. Switches can support Full Duplex; hubs do not. Configuring an adapter for Full Duplex operation while connected to a hub could cause issues such as slowness or device drop-offs.
