Everything about Interpacket gap
Pause between sending network packets
In computer networking, the interpacket gap (IPG), also known as interframe spacing, or interframe gap (IFG), is a pause which may be required between network packets or network frames. Depending on the physical layer protocol or encoding used, the pause may be necessary to allow for receiver clock recovery, permitting the receiver to prepare for another packet or another purpose. It may be considered as a specific case of a guard interval. Wikipedia →
