Abstract
A frame transmission method of an electronic device, wherein the frame transmission method includes the steps of: receiving a pause frame from another electronic device, wherein the pause frame includes a plurality of packet size ranges and corresponding pause times; referring to content of the pause frame, and determining a first frame interval according to which packet size range a first packet to be sent to the other electronic device belongs to; and after a first frame including the first packet is sent to said another electronic device, at least waiting for the first frame interval before starting to send a second frame to said another electronic device.
Claims13
A frame transmission method of an electronic device, comprising:
- connecting to another electronic device;
- receiving a pause frame from said another electronic device, wherein the pause frame includes a plurality of packet size ranges and a plurality of corresponding pause times;
- referring to a content of the pause frame, and determining a first frame interval according to which packet size range a first packet to be sent to said another electronic device belongs to;
- and
- after a first frame including the first packet is sent to said another electronic device, at least waiting for the first frame interval before starting to send a second frame to said another electronic device.
An electronic device for connecting to another electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
- a receiving circuit, configured to receive a pause frame from said another electronic device, wherein the pause frame includes a plurality of packet size ranges and a plurality of corresponding pause times;
- a frame interval controller, configured to refer to a content of the pause frame, and to determine a first frame interval according to which packet size range a first packet to be sent to said another electronic device belongs to;
- and
- a transmitting circuit, configured to send a first frame including the first packet to said another electronic device, and after a first frame is sent, at least wait for the first frame interval before starting to send a second frame to said another electronic device.
An electronic device for connecting to another electronic device, the electronic device comprising:
- a transmitting circuit, configured to send a pause frame to said another electronic device, wherein the pause frame includes a plurality of packet size ranges and a plurality of corresponding pause times for use by said another electronic device;
- and
- a receiving circuit, configured to receive multiple frames from said another electronic device, wherein intervals between the multiple frames are determined according to the plurality of packet size ranges and the plurality of corresponding pause times of the pause frame.
