A Question about "Inter Packet Gap and SOP Lane alignment"

[Boaz Shahar <boazs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Steve,
I have a question in regards to your presentation "Inter Packet Gap..." in
the last meeting:

You suggest to use only 2 columns of Idle as a minimum for IPG. In previous
proposals (e.g.
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/ae/public/may00/taborek_2_0500.pdf
slide 14) the suggested gap is a minimum of 3 columns-/A/, /K/, and /R/. So:
Can you please say which of them should be eliminated, or define a procedure
which say which type of Idle columns should be inserted?

Thanks,
Boaz
