Abstract: About the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Standard

10 GbE Physical layer specifications (PHY) and supported media and reaches, as defined in IEEE 802.3 2005. In Ethernet standards, the different optical and copper media are known as types of physical media-dependent interfaces (PMDs). The 10 GbE MAC operates at 10 Gbps at its service interface (towards PHY) and rate-adapts between MAC PHY layers to accommodate slightly different LAN PHY and WAN PHY data rates by adjusting inter-packet gaps (IPGs). The rate adaptation mechanism is known as open loop control.
