Re: Hari
Ariel:
Hari can easily be adapted to the same word-by-word pacing mechanism we
proposed for the XGMII. This mechanism adds a signal to Hari which is used
to request the insertion of NULL control words. When pacing from PMD to
Hari NULL control works can be inserted.
Hari has no bias toward open loop pacing.
Cheers,
Paul
