ABSTRACT:
A method and ethernet device is disclosed and includes an extended FIFO buffer. The link partner within the ethernet system is in communication with data terminal equipment (DTE). The speed of the link partner determined using a first packet received within the FIFO buffer. Subsequent FIFO buffer reading is optimized based on the determined speed of the link partner, thus for enhancing the inter-packet gap space usage.
