    摘要: A high speed communications interface divides data into a plurality of lanes, each lane encoded with clocking information, serialized, and sent to an interface. During cycles when there is no available data to send, IDLE_EVEN and IDLE_ODD cells are sent on alternating cycles. Data is transmitted by sending a header which spans all lanes and includes a START symbol. The final data transaction includes a Frame Check Sequence (FCS) which operates over the entire header and data. The packet is terminated by an END symbol, which is sent after the final data, and the remainder of the lanes are padded with IDLE_EVEN, IDLE_ODD, IDLE_EVEN_BUSY, or IDLE_ODD_BUSY cycles. The interface has a variable clock rate.

    摘要: CSMA/CD is used to implement flow control in a full-duplex Ethernet network in a lossless fashion. Uniquely identifiable flow control transmit on/off ("XON/XOFF") messages are transmitted, preferably during IPG, by a receiving station about to be congested to the transmitting station whose data output is to be controlled. The transmitting station physical layer receives and decodes these messages. If XOFF is recognized, the transmitting station continuously asserts CRS to its MAC layer at the MII, regardless of the prior CRS current state. CRS is continuously asserted until the receiving station transmits an XON flow control signal, indicating its ability to accept further data. During CRS assertion, the transmitting station defers transmission, e.g., is flow controlled. The MAC layer is slightly modified (but is still backward compatible with half-duplex networks) to provide separate transmit deferral receive data frame mechanisms using separate and independent input status signals, namely CRS and RX.sub.-- DV. CRS provides a carrierSense signal used for deferral within the MAC transmit process, and RX.sub.-- DV provides a receive.sub.-- carrierSense signal that frames data within the MAC receive process. As long as CRS remains asserted, the transmitting station defers transmission, thereby implementing flow control. In addition to slight MAC layer modification, the present invention slightly modified the physical layer, MII interface and reconciliation sublayer.

    摘要: Transmission rates of 1 Gb/sec. at up to at least 200 m diameter distances are achieved in an Ethernet environment by functionally decoupling frame size to network roundtrip time. This decoupling is achieved by extending the duration of the minimum size event to exceed the network roundtrip time. This extension of the carrier event is made without extending the data field and without altering the frame check sequence. Code implementing the media access control layer and reconciliation layer at the transmitting and receiving end of the network is modified such that at 1 Gb/sec. half-duplex, non-data symbols are appended to the end of short packet frames. The collision window is extended to include these symbols, which extension symbols are also included in fragment discard calculations. The extension is removed, however, before checking the frame check sequence, and before passing the frame to logical link and control. In a switched environment, the extension is not propagated to network links operating at less than 1000 Mb/sec. flowrates, which feature makes the invention backward compatible with existing slower transmission rate Ethernet networks. In full-duplex Ethernet environments, the media access control does not form the carrier extension.
