Ethernet devices allow a minimum idle period between transmission of Ethernet frames known as the interframe gap (IFG). Providing a brief recovery time between frames to allow devices to prepare for reception of the next frame. The minimum interframe gap is 96 bit times, the time it takes to transmit 96 bits of raw data on the medium, which is 9.6 µs for 10 Mbit/s Ethernet, 960 ns for 100 Mbit/s (fast) Ethernet, and 96 ns for 1 Gbit/s (gigabit) Ethernet.
