Figure 9–4 shows the mapping of the client frame on the Avalon-ST transmit interface.
Figure 9–4. Mapping of Client Frame to Avalon-ST Transmit Interface
Notes to Figure 9–4 :
(1) <p> = payload size = 0–1500 bytes
(2) In the preamble passthrough mode, the client frame starts with an 8-byte client-defined preamble.
(3) n indicates the number of symbols that are empty during the cycles that mark the end of a frame.
