RE: Question on the Maximum number of packets per second
As noted earlier, the nominal rate is the 14.88095 Mp/s (i.e. 10x1.488095
from 1Gb/s ethernet). The +/- ppm is just that, +/-, not 2X. 2X is the
potential, in-spec, delta between what you could be transmitting, and what
you could be receiving, not the delta of what you could be receiving WRT the
nominal.
I'll stay out of the 20ppm vs. 100ppm thrash here... :)

with the only problem, that the +/-20ppm capable timing recovery of the
other end will not lock to my +/-100ppm offset data. This is the whole point
of Roy's discussion. We need to resolve this.

Joshua,
In LAN PHY the remote (transmitter) clock can be 100ppm faster and the local
(receiver) clock can be 100ppm slower than the nominal and be compliant.
This
results in 0.1024 bits more (for 64byte packets) that would reduce
the ipg by this number resulting in 14.88322 (round to 14.8833) mpps.
In WAN PHY I guess it has been changed to +/-20 ppm clock difference allowed
but if one designed for +/-100ppm clock difference packet throughput it will
cover
+/-20ppm clock difference.
Thanks,
Sanjeev
