[Asterisk-Users] re hardware requirement - asterisk

I have just checked the Openbsd box on the if interface.


fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         address: 00:02:55:30:54:28
         media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
         status: active
         inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
         inet6 fe80::202:55ff:fe30:5428%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
xl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
         address: 00:01:02:78:11:e8
         media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT)
         status: active
         inet 203.219.167.126 netmask 0xfffffffc broadcast 203.219.167.127
         inet6 fe80::201:2ff:fe78:11e8%xl0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

For fxp0, the internal interface although the nic can do full-duplex it 
seems to me that it is only running simplex!!

Same for xl0, the external interface. It is running 10BaseT but again it 
is simplex.

Does that affect my voip performance? Is it true that every step of the 
way the network has to be full-duplex?
