摘要： A method includes buffering an initial amount of data of a data set transmitted from a MAC. When an amount of time for data associated with the data set to fill a PHY buffer approaches an amount of time for the far-end PHY to transition from the second far-end PHY power state to the first far-end PHY power state, buffering a remaining amount of data of the data set transmitted from the MAC and transmitting the data to a far-end PHY after the far-end PHY transitions between a second and first far-end PHY power state. When the amount of time for data associated with the data set to fill the buffer exceeds the amount of time for the far-end PHY to transition from the second to the first far-end PHY power state, transmitting a data delay indicator to the MAC to preempt the MAC from transmitting the remaining amount of data.

摘要： A network switch having a hybrid switch architecture, which is scalable to increase connectivity, buffering, and bandwidth by using multiple shared-memory switch fabrics and multiple crossbar switch fabrics. Each of the crossbar switch fabrics is coupled to each of the shared-memory switch fabrics. The shared-memory switch fabrics are configured to store and retrieve packets. The crossbar switch fabrics are configured to distribute and recollect packets to and from each of the shared-memory switch fabrics. The network switch having a hybrid switch architecture distributes packets from a crossbar switch fabric to the multiple shared-memory switch fabrics to share the distributed packets among the multiple shared-memory switch fabrics.

摘要： A method and apparatus for eliminating near-end crosstalk in a communication network are disclosed. Crosstalk generated by communication occurring on a second line is detected on a first line and the phase of the crosstalk detected on the first line is determined. A first signal is communicated on the first line in response to the phase.

摘要： A 10GBASE-T transceiver that is capable of performing cable diagnostics. The transceiver is a physical layer device (PHY) that has four transceiver sections. Each section includes an input path and an output path. The input path generally includes a receiver, an analog-to-digital converter, a far end cross talk/near end cross talk canceller section, an alien noise canceller section, and an equalizer section. The output path includes a coding and preconditioning section, a digital-to-analog converter, and a transmitter. A substantial savings can be realized by utilizing the same elements that perform data communication to perform cable diagnostics. The diagnostics might occur before a link is formed or after a link is formed and may be based on test signals only or on data signals or communications. A first PHY might perform diagnostics alone or in combination with a second PHY which is in communication with the first as a link partner.

摘要： A scalable signal processing test device and related signal processing techniques are provided herein for processing signals at a signal processing module of the scalable signal processing test device. Source electrical signals are processed to generate test electrical signals that model electrical signals produced by an optical module from received optical signals in accordance with a high speed optical standard for optical transmission. The test electrical signals are transmitted over transmit links to a host device that is configured to receive the test electrical signals in a format that would normally be produced by an optical module in accordance with the high speed optical standard. The test electrical signals are received after they have been looped back from the host device over receive links from the host device. The host device is a device that is configured to output the test electrical signals in a format suitable for processing by an optical module in accordance with the high speed optical standard. The test electrical signals received from the host device are analyzed in order to determine whether the host device outputs the one or more sets of test electrical signals in compliance with the high speed optical standard.

摘要： A transmitter transmits a data frame as an uninterrupted stream of codeblocks of predefined size on a first 10 Gigabit/second data path between a MAC and PHY. It inserts a first idle block of predefined size within the data frame if there is insufficient data. A receiver receives a second idle block on a second data path, the second idle block including a request to slow down the transmission on the first data path. The receiver causes the transmitter to insert a third idle block in response to receiving the second idle block. The transmitter may further send a stream identifier including an identifier for a data stream and a bandwidth factor. The transmitter may send one codeblock chosen from data blocks for the data stream and idle blocks, and then send the bandwidth factor number of codeblocks chosen from data blocks for other data streams and idle blocks.
