The speed negotiation sequence shall consist of the following transmission sequence:

1)a transmission of D.C. idle for an RCDT; and

2)if the phy supports the physical link rate, a transmission of ALIGNs at that physical link rate for the remainder of the entire speed negotiation window. If the phy does not support the physical link rate, transmission of D.C. idle for the remainder of the entire speed negotiation window.
