5.1 PHY Layer
It has elastic buffer and supports receiver detection, data serialization and de-serialization.
5.2 Link Layer
The Link layer transmits and receives frames, transmits primitives based on control signals from the Transport
layer, and receives primitives from the Phy layer which are converted to control signals to the Transport layer.
