Re: Packet delivery on a Ethernet Wire

So does that mean that in copper wire, you have two paths ie full duplex,
one for transmit and one for recieve. One pair of the copper will be
dedicated to tansmit and one to recieve. Each path transmitting serially.

On Fibre its the same, you have two fibre's one for transmit and one for
receive and data is transmitted serially on them.

Is this correct?
