D31:15 N/A Reserved N/A N/A
D14:08 R/W IPGR1 0x00 Non back-to-back inter-packet-gap part 1
Programmable field indicating optional carrierSense
window (referenced in IEEE 8.2.3/4.2.3.2.1).
If carrier is detected during the timing of IPGR1, the
MAC defers to carrier.
If carrier comes after IPGR1, the MAC continues
timing IPGR2 and transmits — knowingly causing
a collision. This ensures fair access to the medium.
IPGR1’s range of values is
0x0 to IPGR2. The
recommended value is
0xC.
D07 N/A Reserved N/A N/A
D06:00 R/W IPGR2 0x00 Non back-to-back inter-packet-gap part 2
Programmable field indicating the non back-to-back
inter-packet-gap. The recommended value for this field is
0x12 (18d), which represents the minimum IPG of 0.96 μS
in 100 Mbps or 9.6 μS in 10 Mbps.
