Gigabit LAN

The PS3 has 1 Gigabit Ethernet port. The port accepts Auto-MDIX (automatic medium-dependent interface crossover), so no need for special crosscables when hooking up the PS3 direct to the PC.

Gigabit LAN chips used

A sample of the GbLAN chips in different PS3 models:

Ports Size Speed Voltage Packaging Manufacturer Serial Number Description
8 (3 used) 20x20mm Xtal X3501: 25MHz 3.3V/1.9V/1.2V 144-pin TQFP Marvell 88E6108-LAR1 Used in earlier models (up to CECHGxx/SEM-00x)
? ? ? ? ? Marvell 88E6106-LKJ1 Used in later models (CECHHxx/DIA-00x)
- - 125MHz 3.3V, 2.5V or 1.8V 64-pin QFN Marvell Alaska 88E1118R-NNC2 Used in Slim models (CECH-20xx/DYN-00x)


Jumbo frames

From Linux perspective (under OtherOS <=3.15), the old drivers set the MTU to 2308, while newer versions set the MTU of 1518. This could be a hypervisor restriction (needs research).

MTU is set with vsh using syscall net_ioctl (libnet)

On 3.41 firmware, with a modified ps3_gelic driver, frames of 1624 bytes can be sent and frames of 1628 bytes can be received.
