Interframe gap

[Neema]

Dear all,

While using the libnet library , the interframe gap between packets
need to take care by application developer or can set that thru libnet
itself.
Is there any way to set the interframe gap while continously sending
packets.

Sorry for the mistakes & Thanks in advance for suggestions and help.

Regards,
Neema

Neema,

IIRC, interframe gap (IFG) is taken care of by your ethernet interface. So neither developer nor libnet needs to do anything about it.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. In that u mean to say that how fast we wrote
packets into ethernet the interframe gap will take care automatically
(NIC driver itself). Please calrify me on that if u can.

Sorry for the inconvenince

Actually, interframe gap is enforced by ethernet standards. IIRC, it's
96 bit times i.e. 9.6 microsecond for 10 Mbps and 960 ns for 100 Mbps.
If an ethernet interface follows the standards (most of them do) , it
will never skip or reduce interframe gap, no matter how fast you swamp
it with data.

Logic for IFG must be either inside ethernet driver or device itself.
