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

8b10b is used with GbE, and 64b66b is used with 10GbE.

Hi Kedar, the block coding scheme is tightly connected to the media, i.e.:

100BASE-X 4B/5B 100BASE-T4 8B/6T 100BASE-T2 PAM 5x5 1000BASE-X 8B/10B

for guidance consult the relevant "Gigabit Ethernet" book from Rich Seifert.
