[c-nsp] half duplex question

I would think that there is a big difference.  By moving you to half duplex you are opening yourself up to the possibility of collisions and higher overhead.

Subject: [c-nsp] half duplex question

I have a metro Ethernet connection with a 5 mbs commit. Normally they shape
the incoming and I shape the outgoing to the commit rate. This time they
want me to go
half duplex, 10 mbs. The end result is 5 mbs. Is this wise or are there any
drawbacks to using half duplex here ?

Thanks,
