AE98 Overview
The Nortel Networks AE98 is a singlechip implementation of the PHY and MAC layer functions of a 10Gb/s Ethernet interface. The device is optimized for a System Packet Interface Level 4 (SPI-4) cell and packet interface for switches requiring costeffective access to 10 Gb/s Ethernet pipes. Typically the device accepts TCP/IP or UDP/IP packets, encapsulates them in Ethernet frames, encodes the data for efficient...
