  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SQUELCHING A RECOVERED CLOCK IN AN ETHERNET NETWORK
    Publication number: 20120224493
    Abstract: A system and method for squelching a recovered clock in an Ethernet network. In one embodiment the invention provides a method for squelching a recovered clock in an Ethernet network comprising a local node coupled to a remote node by a link, the method including receiving a descrambler status signal, receiving a remote receiver status signal, receiving a link status signal, and squelching the recovered clock signal based on the descrambler status signal, the remote receiver status signal, and the link status signal.
    Type: Application

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING EARLY LINK FAILURE IN AN ETHERNET NETWORK
    Publication number: 20090201821
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an early indication of link failure in an Ethernet network. In some embodiments an Ethernet PHY determines a link failure if the PHY loses descrambler synchronization, if remote receiver status is determined to indicate a remote receiver failure, or if link status indicates a link failure.
