How to Achieve Low Latency in Ethernet? IP / MPLS Routing IP / MPLS L7 Application L6 Presentation IP / MPLS L3 MAC Switching MAC Session L5 MAC L2 L4 Transport Ethernet RS L3 X-Ethernet Network PCS PCS X-Et Ethern rnet Relay PCS L2 Data Link PMA Physical PMD L1 Physical Physical L0 Medium Medium Medium Medium Ethernet PCS laye yer relay is implemented to get less ss latency cy. This s method is based on Native Ethernet. We call it “ X-Ethernet ” . Page 4 HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES CO., LTD.
