For example, the 3C319 NIC begins writing the first 
portion of a data frame to the network before it has 
completed reading it from PC memory.

Full-duplex/Dedicated Token Ring (DTR) is an 
enhancement to the IEEE 802.5 standard that allows 
a 16 Mbps switch port to be dedicated to a station.

In full-duplex mode, a station can simultaneously 
transmit and receive independent data streams for 
potential data throughput of 32 Mbps. The 3C319 NIC 
operates in full-duplex mode when attached to a 
DTR switch.
