Fibre Channel also has an IFG. Possibly, it should be added to this article. FC's IFG consists of IDLE primitives. The minimum IFG is 6 IDLEs. Also, R_RDY primitives can be inserted during the IFG as opposed to IDLEs for buffer-to-buffer credit management. If credit management is being used, two IDLEs must be sent after a frame and before the next frame. All other IDLEs can be replaced with the R_RDY primitive. So the minimum IFG with credit management enabled and two credits pending for transmission would appear as:
(END OF FRAME)|IDLE|IDLE|R_RDY|R_RDY|IDLE|IDLE|(START OF FRAME)

Zac67 has added a 96-bit minimum for Fast Ethernet but acknowledges that no minimum is specified here. Fast Ethernet can use repeaters so the gap can be shortened in transit so 96 doesn't seem right. I assume the lack of specification was an oversight by standards developers and should be indicated as such as it formerly was. ~ Kvng ( talk) 15:18, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
