The protocol is applicable to systems communicating by local area networks including, but not limited to,
Ethernet. The protocol enables heterogeneous systems that include clocks of various inherent precision,
resolution, and stability to synchronize to a grandmaster clock.

10GBASE-R with FEC
Arria 10 10GBASE-R has the optional FEC variant that also targets the 10GBASE-KR PHY. This provides
a coding gain to increase the link budget and BER performance on a broader set of backplane channels as
defined in Clause 69. It provides additional margin to account for variations in manufacturing and
environment conditions. The additional TX FEC sublayer:
Receives data from the TX PCS
Transcodes 64b/66b words
Performs encoding/framing
Scrambles and sends the FEC data to the PMA
