7.1.6 CPSW Feature Additions

AM261 devices add two new features to the CPSW peripheral.

Interspersed Express Traffic (IET)

This feature allows for the servicing of time-critical 'express' frames that suspend the transmission of non-time-critical 'premptable' frames. IET also allows for one or more time-critical frames to be transmitted. These express frames are transmitted with minimum delay at the cost of delaying the completion of premptable frame transfers.

This feature adheres to the Interspersing Express Traffic 802.3br standard.

Cut-through Switching

This feature is a specific switching method where the switch forwards packets or frames to the end destination immediately after the destination address has been processed without waiting for entire data packet to be received. Utilizing this feature allows for a reduction of latency compared to typical store and forward methods.
