Generic Framing Procedure - Modes

Modes

  • Framed GFP (GFP-F) is optimized for bandwidth efficiency at the expense of latency. It encapsulates complete Ethernet (or other types of) frames with a GFP header.
  • Transparent GFP (GFP-T) is used for low latency transport of block-coded client signals such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, ESCON, FiCON, and Digital Video Broadcast (DVB). In this mode, small groups of 8B/10B symbols are transmitted rather than waiting for a complete frame of data.

Famous quotes containing the word modes:

    “The essence of belief is the establishment of a habit; and different beliefs are distinguished by the different modes of action to which they give rise.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “Men and women are brothers and sisters; they are not of different species; and what need be obtained to know both, but to allow for different modes of education, for situation and constitution, or perhaps I should rather say, for habits, whether good or bad.”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    “my brain
    Worked with a dim and undetermined sense
    Of unknown modes of being; o’er my thoughts
    There hung a darkness, call it solitude
    Or blank desertion.”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
