   I know when I send something out .... and I know when I receive   
   something back .... e.g. I made my post at 23:58, yesterday, 08/09/25   
   and, if I had still been online, I might have received your reply at   
   0005, 09/09/25 .... so this full cycle took "7 minutes". But I did   
   receive it now, 20:15, 09/09/25   
      
   I know that not a good example for this situation but, hopefully, you   
   get what I mean by "full" or "half" cycle?   
      
   Full cycle .... Me sending Data and Me getting a response.   
   Half cycle .... Me sending Data and distant end receiving Data.   
   		Distant end sending Data and me receiving Data.
