Description
MAC threshold for TX FIFO Port 0. The
default value of 0x1BE represents 446 8-byte
locations. This equates to 3568 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO reaches this threshold, data is forwarded
to the MAC core and line-side interfaces for
onward transmission. By setting the threshold to
an appropriate value, the user can configure the
TX FIFO to operate in a "cut-through" mode
rather than the default "store and forward"
operation mode.
MAC threshold for TX FIFO Port 1. The
default value of 0x1BE represents 446 8-byte
locations. This equates to 3568 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO reaches this threshold, data is forwarded
to the MAC core and line-side interfaces for
onward transmission. By setting the threshold to
an appropriate value, the user can configure the
TX FIFO to operate in a "cut-through" mode
rather than the default "store and forward"
operation mode.
MAC threshold for TX FIFO Port 2. The
default value of 0x1BE represents 446 8-byte
locations. This equates to 3568 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO reaches this threshold, data is forwarded
to the MAC core and line-side interfaces for
onward transmission. By setting the threshold to
an appropriate value, the user can configure the
TX FIFO to operate in a "cut-through" mode
rather than the default "store and forward"
operation mode.
MAC threshold for TX FIFO Port 3. The
default value of 0x1BE represents 446 8-byte
locations. This equates to 3568 bytes of data. A
unit entry in this register equates to 8 bytes of
data. When the amount of data stored in the TX
FIFO reaches this threshold, data is forwarded
