Low latency 1gigabit Ethernet MAC

Hello everybody :) Anyone can refer me to a MAC that have the minimum latency as possible ? A MAC for the 1gigabit operation (we think use Stratix 4 fpga) Thank you Shalom

In that case I don't think that you'll see a big difference between MACs. With the TSE you can remove the FIFOs to reduce it, but you'll still have a few cycles of latency due to clock domain crossing logic.
