Original Abstract Submitted
techniques are provided to extend training to an end-to-end method, where a ready-to-send (rts) variable is added to training frames to indicate that, on a current interface, the physical medium attachment (pma) sublayer, with all its lanes, has valid data and appropriate clock timing and is ready to send data to the output when training is completed. these techniques are applicable to a pma that is an endpoint (and thus has only a single network interface involved) as well as to pmas that have two network interfaces connected to segment partners. moreover, these techniques may be configured to work with legacy devices that do not support segmented link training.
