Hi Serge,

Apologies for the multiple emails. I wanted to check specifically on the
support for 2.5G/5G over XGMII and GMII interfaces. I’ve reviewed the
v3.10a databook, but it doesn’t mention when support for these speeds
was first introduced. Could you please confirm on this?

Best Regards,
Rohan
