EMAC Functional Architecture
For example, consider three packets to be transmitted, Packet A is a single fragment (60 bytes), Packet B
is fragmented over three buffers (1514 bytes total), and Packet C is a single fragment (1514 bytes).
Figure 8 shows the linked list of descriptors to describe these three packets.
