A phy shall start inserting ALIGNs and/or NOTIFYs for rate matching at the 
selected connection rate with the first dword that is not an ALIGN or NOTIFY 
inserted for clock skew management following:  
a)  transmitting the EOAF for an OPEN address frame; or  
b)  transmitting an OPEN_ACCEPT.  
The source phy transmits idle dwords including ALIGNs and NOTIFYs at the 
selected connection rate while waiting for the connection response.  This enables 
each expander device to start forwarding dwords from the source phy to the 
destination phy after forwarding an OPEN_ACCEPT.  
A phy shall stop inserting ALIGNs and/or NOTIFYs for rate matching after:  
a)  transmitting the first dword in a CLOSE;  
b)  transmitting the first dword in a BREAK;  
c)  receiving an OPEN_REJECT for a connection request; or  
d)  losing arbitration to a received OPEN address frame. 
1.5.6  SSP link layer  
An SSP phy that accepts an OPEN address frame shall transmit at least one 
RRDY in that connection within 1 ms of transmitting an OPEN_ACCEPT.  If the 
SSP phy is not able to grant credit, it shall respond with OPEN_REJECT 
(RETRY) and not accept the connection request.  
SSP is a full duplex protocol.  An SSP phy may receive an SSP frame or primitive 
in a connection while it is transmitting an SSP frame or primitive in the same 
connection.  A wide SSP port may send and/or receive SSP frames or primitives 
concurrently on different connections (i.e., on different phys).  
When a connection is open and an SSP phy has no more SSP frames to transmit 
on that connection, it transmits a DONE to start closing the connection.  The other 
direction may still be active, so the DONE may be followed by one or more of the 
following primitives: CREDIT_BLOCKED, RRDY, ACK, or NAK.
