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:

    “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)

    “Sight and all the other senses are only modes of touch.”
    —Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

    “Heaven is large, and affords space for all modes of love and fortitude. Why should we be busybodies and superserviceable?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
