+\subsubsection faq_simgrid_configuration_fullduplex Using Fullduplex
+
+Experimental fullduplex support is now available on the svn branch. In order to fullduple to work your platform must have two links for each pair
+of interconnected hosts, see an example here:
+\verbatim
+	simgrid_svn_sources/exemples/msg/gtnets/fullduplex-p.xml
+\endverbatim
+
+Using fullduplex support ongoing and incoming communication flows are
+treated independently for most models. The exception is the LV08 model which 
+adds 0.05 of usage on the opposite direction for each new created flow. This 
+can be useful to simulate some important TCP phenomena such as ack compression. 
+
+Running a fullduplex example:
+\verbatim
+	cd simgrid_svn_sources/exemples/msg/gtnets
+	./gtnets fullduplex-p.xml fullduplex-d.xml --cfg=fullduplex:1
+\endverbatim
