private network with half duplex
 

Hello,

We are running veritas cluster on linux boxes and right now private network is running with half duplex, is there any affect? I checked the heartbeat and everything seems to be fine.

When it runs in half duplex, there shouldn't be any problem with heart beat signal. With half-duplex, communications happen in both directions, but in only one direction at a time.

I think you are correct. but what is the benefit using full duplex?
