RE: Maximum run length of 64/66b

Mike and Shen,
Sorry I didn't get to answering sooner. I was busy getting
clause 49 ready for D2.0 and other tasks.
The maximum run length is 66 which can occur when a data frame is
followed by a control frame or vice versa. There is always a transition
between the two bits of the sync header. The probability of a run of
65 or 66 bits is 2^64 ~ 16 * 10^18.
One can AC couple just as one can with any scrambled code. On the average
about half the bits will be zero and half will be one. The cut-off frequency
will be much lower than for something like an 8B/10B code, but it does not
have to go down to zero.
Regards,
Pat

Hello,
Perhaps I missed it, but I haven't seen any responses to the
question below, so let me hazard a guess and hope that someone
corrects me if I'm wrong:
1) The max run length is 66, since the sync bits are not
scrambled.
2) I suspect the frequency content is sufficiently low that
any AC coupling would be impossible.
Improved theoretical or empirical results might help 64b/66b
serve other applications as well as this one, I would think.
Opinions anyone?
Regards,
Mike
