Abstract:
Techniques for receiving data at a physical coding sublayer (PCS) transmit structure from a media access control (MAC) sublayer are provided. A PCS transmit structure is configured to receive data from a MAC sublayer, the PCS transmit structure comprising a first FEC hardware module that inserts one or more alignment markers in the data and performs FEC encoding, in a first clock domain, on the one or more alignment markers and the data to generate FEC encoded data. Further, a PCS receive structure configured to receive the FEC encoded data from the PCS transmit structure, the PCS receive structure comprising a second FEC hardware module is configured to perform FEC decoding, in the second clock domain, on the FEC encoded data to generate FEC decoded data, and remove the one or more alignment markers from the FEC decoded data.

Claim (Index 8):
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising:\n computer-readable program code configured to receive data at a physical coding sublayer (PCS) transmit structure from a media access control (MAC) sublayer, computer-readable program code configured to insert one or more alignment markers in the data in the PCS transmit structure; computer-readable program code configured to perform FEC encoding, in a first clock domain, on the one or more alignment markers and the data in the PCS transmit structure to generate FEC encoded data, wherein the PCS transmit structure is configured to transmit the FEC encoded data from the first clock domain with a first clock cycle to a second clock domain with a second clock cycle; computer-readable program code configured to transmit the FEC encoded data on one or more physical media attachment (PMA) lanes to a PCS receive structure; and computer-readable program code configured to perform FEC decoding, in the second clock domain, on the FEC encoded data in the PCS receive structure to generate FEC decoded data and remove the one or more alignment markers from the FEC decoded data in the PCS receive structure.
