IEEE Std 802.3™-2015 Cor1 “IEEE Standard for Ethernet Corrigendum 1: Multi-lane Timestamping” was developed by the IEEE P802.3-2015/Cor 1 (IEEE P802.3ce) Multi-lane Timestamping Task Force and approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board on March 23, 2017. This corrigendum clarifies timestamping reference points and defines where transmit path data delay and receive path data delay measurements are made.
Timestamping Reference Points
- The transmit path data delay is measured from the beginning of the start-of-frame delimiter (SFD) at the generic Media Independent Interface (xMII) input to the beginning of the SFD at the Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) output
- The receive path data delay is measured from the beginning of the start-of-frame delimiter (SFD) at the Medium Dependent Interface (MDI) input to the beginning of the SFD at the generic Media Independent Interface (xMII) output
