Maximum Frame Sizes for Sustained Frame Reception

Sustained frame reception refers to the maximum size of frames which can be 
continuously received when each frame is separated by a minimum interframe gap. 

The size of frames that can be reliably received is dependent on the two considerations 
previously introduced in this appendix: 

•

The size of the Elastic Buffer, see

“Rx Elastic Buffers: Depths and Maximum Frame 

Sizes”

•

The number of clock correction characters present in a minimum interframe gap, (see 

“Clock Correction”

)

Table E-3

 summarizes the maximum frame sizes for sustained frame reception when used 

with the different Rx Elastic Buffers provided with the core. All frame sizes are provided in 
bytes.

Jumbo Frame Reception

A jumbo frame is an Ethernet frame which is deliberately larger than the maximum sized 
Ethernet frame allowed in the 

IEEE 802.3

 specification. The size of jumbo frames that can 

be reliably received is identical to the frame sizes defined in 

“Maximum Frame Sizes for 

Sustained Frame Reception,” page 226

.
