KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – asymmetrical transmission:
Asymmetrical transmission is a method of data communication used by certain high-speed modems in which the incoming and outgoing data streams operate at different speeds. This technique divides the available bandwidth of a telephone line into separate channels for sending and receiving information simultaneously. One channel carries data at a relatively low speed, while the other carries data at a much higher speed, often 9600 bits per second or more. Asymmetrical transmission is useful in situations where the amount of incoming data is significantly greater than outgoing data, such as when downloading information from the Internet.
