Question

All these symptoms are due to a duplex mismatch.
Key Takeaway: Duplex mismatch is a condition where two connected devices operate in different duplex modes. Many times, we have a situation where one device operates in half-duplex, while the other one operates in full-duplex. This affects the network performance, making it slower and unreliable.
