frame length of a transmission being longer than the propagation time at 1Gbps (principle of CSMA/CD) now transmission at least 4096 bit-times long (512 bit-times for 10/100, min. frame length of 64 octets)

Carrier Extension

now transmission at least 4096 bit-times long (512 bit-times for 10/100, min. frame length of 64 octets)
