Talk:Interframe gap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

• There is a link on the article that I did not know how to correctly create. I want to link to an article, but to a specific section in the article, while keeping the link an internal (inter-wiki) link. Can someone please take care of this? JonathonReinhart 09:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Fibre Channel also has an IFG. Possibly, it should be added to this article. FC's IFG consists of IDLE primitives. The minimum IFG is 6 IDLEs. Also, R_RDY primitives can be inserted during the IFG as opposed to IDLEs for buffer-to-buffer credit management. If credit management is being used, two IDLEs must be sent after a frame and before the next frame. All other IDLEs can be replaced with the R_RDY primitive. So the minimum IFG with credit management enabled and two credits pending for transmission would appear as:

(END OF FRAME)|IDLE|IDLE|R_RDY|R_RDY|IDLE|IDLE|(START OF FRAME)
