Abstract
Method and apparatus for receiving data at a physical coding sublayer (PCS) transmit structure from a media access control (MAC) sublayer. The method includes performing a first forward error-correcting (FEC) sub-function on the data in the PCS transmit structure. The method further includes transmitting the data on one or more physical medium attachment (PMA) lanes to a PCS receive structure. The method also includes performing a second FEC sub-function on the data in the PCS receive structure.
