Non back-to-back inter-packet-gap — part 1

 

 

 

 

A programmable field that represents the optional

 

 

 

 

carrierSense window (referenced in IEEE 802.3

 

 

 

 

“Carrier Deference”).

 

 

 

 

If carrier is found during IPGR1 timing, the MAC

 

 

 

 

defers to the carrier. If carrier is found after IPGR1

 

 

 

 

times out, the MAC continues timing IPGR2. The

 

 

 

 

transmitter causes a collision, activating the

 

 

 

 

random back off fairness algorithm (ensuring fair

 

 

 

 

access to the medium).

 

 

 

 

The range of values for IPGR1 is ’h0—IPGR2.

 

 

 

 

The default value is ’hC (12d).

Non-back-to-back inter-packet-gap—part 2

 

 

 

 

A programmable field that represents the non-

 

 

 

 

back-to-back inter-packet-gap.

The default setting for IPGR2 is ’h12 (18d), which represents these minimum IPG values:

In 100 Mbps: 0.96 μs

In 10 Mbps: 9.6 μs
