Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments relate, generally, to traffic shaping at a network segment having a shared bus. Some embodiments relate to performing aspects of the traffic shaping at a physical layer device. In some cases, transmit timeslot signaling may be tuned at a physical layer device to create transmit timeslots that are aligned with the traffic shaping profile.
