Question about port

[justice90]

I had seem lot's of dedicated server offering different kind of port.

What the different between uplink port and dedicated port?
What is the "full-duplex port" mean?


Is there anyone can explain for me?
Thanks in advance.

- An uplink port - is a port set aside for you to connect one piece of networking equipment to another. In fact, the uplink port speed is the speed of the data transfer between the Dedicated Server and the router to the backbone.

- Dedicated Switch Port - is a term used for hosting services. Some services will *virtualize* your network connection and share several of these virtualized network devices over a single physical network device.
Having a "dedicated" port means you're not sharing with anyone.

- Full Duplex - means that the computer can send and receive data simultaneously - there are two separate data channels (one coming in, one going out).

Checked on google, it's complicated and I don't get the meaning.

Thanks, RapT1le.
Still have little confuse about uplink port.
-Was that mean uplink port doesn't have guarantee speed due to peering network?
-Was that mean uplink port is shared?

- Uplink Port would still be the Same.

- There are several types of Uplink Ports :

- Dual-Purpose and Shared Uplink Ports :

- The standard hardware logic of an uplink port supports only network uplink devices. However, some network products feature one dual-purpose port that can function either as an uplink or a standard port depending on the type of device connected to it. In place of a dual-purpose port, older network uplink equipment sometimes provides a second, standard shared port next to the uplink one. The hardware logic of these products supports connections to either the uplink port, or the standard shared port, but not both. Do not connect devices to both jacks of a shared port device.


- Other Types of Network Uplink :
- Uplinks are common in satellite telecommunications. To broadcast satellite radio or television, a local station (or content provider) must transmit a signal feed from the ground station to an orbiting satellite, a process known as satellite uplink.
Cellular and other wireless broadband service providers also sometimes refer to the upstream communication path of their networks as uplink transmission. These uplinks carry SMS text messages, Internet file uploads and other data sent from a client device through the provider network to a receiving device.

I get it.
