Hi, Im trying to understand a little more about the Ethernet communication model used for GNU Radio. I notice that the frames have start of burst and end of burst flags. Is this related to sending Ethernet frames? How many frames can be sent in a single burst? If these are not related to Ethernet, what is their purpose? Any good documents to look at relating to this? Thanks.
The burst refer to transmission bursts, not ethernet. If you are going to send a continuous stream, then end of burst should not be set. End of burst indicates that the TX should turn off after this packet has been sent. It is more typically used in timed discontinuous transmission.
