Ethernet and bursting

GNU Radio
1

Hi,
Im trying to understand a little more about the Ethernet communication
model used for GNU Radio. I notice that the frames have start of burst
and end of burst flags. Is this related to sending Ethernet frames?
How many frames can be sent in a single burst? If these are not
related to Ethernet, what is their purpose? Any good documents to look
at relating to this? Thanks.

The burst refer to transmission bursts, not ethernet. If you are going
to send a continuous stream, then end of burst should not be set. End
of burst indicates that the TX should turn off after this packet has
been sent. It is more typically used in timed discontinuous
transmission.
