Q: 15
You have 10 users plugged into a hub running 10Mbps half-duplex. There is a server connected to the switch running 10Mbps half-duplex as well. How much bandwidth does each host have to the server?

C/D? I think it's not so clear because with a hub sharing half-duplex, collisions matter.
D Each host can use up to 10 Mbps with the server, just not all at the same time because of half-duplex and collision domain. Hub doesn't split the bandwidth unless multiple transmit together. Anyone disagree?
Each host gets the full 10 Mbps when communicating directly with the server on a hub, but only one can transmit at a time due to half-duplex and shared media. Still, max bandwidth per host is D. I’m pretty sure that’s what they’re asking.
