Abstract
Networking devices and optical communication systems are provided. In one example, a system is described to include a first physical coding sublayer (PCS) block that incorporates auto-negotiation information into a control block. The control block is transmitted to a second PCS block and the auto-negotiation information is used to enable negotiation between the first and the second PCS blocks.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a first physical coding sublayer (PCS) block that incorporates auto-negotiation information into a control block, wherein the control block is transmitted to a second PCS block and wherein the auto-negotiation information is used to enable negotiation between the first and the second PCS blocks.
A networking device, comprising:
- an optical network interface;
- and
- a physical coding sublayer (PCS) block to:
- transmit and/or receive optical data signals via the optical network interface;
- and
- perform auto-negotiation with another networking device via the optical network interface.
3 more elements
An optical communication system, comprising:
- at least one communication node comprising an optical transceiver and a physical coding sublayer (PCS) block to perform auto-negotiation with another communication node in the optical communication system via the optical transceiver.
