Hi Tor,
Most 10/100 hubs these days are, in effect, two hubs and a 2-port switch. Ports 'auto switch' to either the 10Mbps segment or the 100Mbps segment. Inter-segment traffic is decided by MAC address 'learning' So... if two 100Mbps devices are communicating - they are on the same segment, and will communicate at 100Mbps. Similarly for two 10Mbps devices. The whole only drops to 10Mbps with cross-segment 10-100 traffic.
At least somebody believes me for a change.
I hope that makes sense.
And BTW - full duplex is 100Mbps TX AND 100Mbps RX simultaneously.
Like I can learn much from the side of a D-Link box. ;-) Dave
