NicatioNs> A scheme to maximise use of a commuNicatioNs liNe by giviNg a larger share of the baNdwidth to the modem at the eNd which is traNsmittiNg the most iNformatioN. ONly oNe eNd of the coNNectioN has full baNdwidth, the other has oNly a fractioN of the baNdwidth. Normally, which eNd gets the full baNdwidth is choseN dyNamically. Asymmetrical modulatioN was made famous by the HST mode of the early high-speed modems from US Robotics. (1998-03-13)
