Zusammenfassung:A improved Media Access Control (MAC) module specification is presented. The MAC module specification includes configurable support for: a reduced minimum packet size, a reduced inter-frame-gap size, a reduced preamble, receive and transmit clock generation. Benefits may be derived from protocol overhead reductions. Processors adhering to the improved MAC module specification may exchange information at improved bandwidth efficiencies by directly interconnecting respective MAC modules to one another.
