Interframe GapEthernet devices must allow a minimum idle period between transmission of frames known as the interframe gap (IFG) or interpacket gap (IPG). It provides 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 Mb/s Ethernet, 960 ns for 100 Mb/s (fast) Ethernet, and 96 ns for 1 Gb/s (gigabit) Ethernet. The interframe gap is also known as interframe spacing.
