It's very similar to QSGMII, but uses + a Packet Control Header (PCH) instead of the 7 bytes preamble to carry not + only the port id, but also so-called "extensions". The only documented + extension so-far in the specification is the inclusion of timestamps, for + PTP-enabled PHYs. This mode isn't compatible with QSGMII, but offers the + same capabilities in terms of link speed and negociation. + Pause frames / flow control =========================== |
