I'm trying to understand how different types of duplex interact and I can't quite figure out how a certain scenario would play out.
We have two devices, both capable of full duplex communication. Obviously, if they were directly connected it should be full duplex communication.
What happens if device one is plugged into a switch, and that switch into a wireless access point. (All of these are full duplex). The wireless is capable of only half duplex. From there it goes to a wireless client, through it's full duplex ethernet port to device two. Essentially the wireless is a half duplex bridge between two segments of the network.
[Dev1]--full--[switch]--full--[ap] ))half(([client]--full--[Dev2]
Would this cause any issues? Or does the access point/client handle the duplex change without a problem?
