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.

2.6.2.1. The XGMII Clocking Scheme in 10GBASE-R
The XGMII interface, specified by IEEE 802.3-2008, defines the 32-bit data and 4-bit
wide control character. These characters are clocked between the MAC/RS and the PCS
at both the positive and negative edge (double data rate – DDR) of the 156.25 MHz
interface clock.
The transceivers do not support the XGMII interface to the MAC/RS as defined in the
IEEE 802.3-2008 specification. Instead, they support a 64-bit data and 8-bit control
single data rate (SDR) interface between the MAC/RS and the PCS.
