11.4.2 Example 2: Multi Camera Operation – Optimal IPG
A better method is to increase the IPG to a size of
optimal IPG = packet size + 2 × minimal IPG
In this way both data packets can be transferred successively (zipper principle), and the
switch does not need to buffer the packets
.

as employing an optimal
inter packet gap (IPG).
Max. IPG:
On the Gigabit Ethernet
the max. IPG and the data
packet must not exceed 1
Gbit. Otherwise data pack-
ets can be lost.
