Re: FW: Interframe gap

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.
