Hi all,
I am developing a gigabit Ethernet MAC and I would like to know if in
order to be compliant with the 802.3 standard I must support flow
control and half duplex operation.
I must also admit that I'm a bit confused as to which of the many 802.3
standards I must adhere to. To put it simply, I want my product to say
"802.3XXXX" compliant, where XXXX can be anything :).
Thanks!
Yoav
