Ethernet Encoding schemes

Jan 06, 2006 1 Replies

Hi All,



I want some guidence for encoding schemes used in ethernet



I know that for gigabit ethernet mostly the 8b10b encoding scheme is used and also I have heard about 64b/66b scheme.



which one is actually used....?



If I need to send my data on ethernet which one I should use and while receiving any data, is there any method for detecting that the receiving data is coded in which scheme...?



Thanks & Regards Kedar



For Gigabit ethernet, two encodings are used for 1000Base-x , 8b10b ;and for 1000Base-T , 4D PAM5.

64b/66b is used for 10G. Not for 1G. Regards. JOSE
