Ultra-Low Latency 10Gb/s Ethernet IP
Block Diagram

Overview
This 10Gbps 32-bit Ethernet IP solution offers a fully integrated IEEE802.3-2015 compliant package for NIC (Network Interface Card) and Ethernet switching applications. This industry leading ultra-low latency solution is specifically targeted for demanding financial, high frequency trading and HPC applications.
Getting Started
A complete reference design using a L2 (MAC level) packet generator/checker is also included to facilitate quick integration of the Ethernet IP in a user design. A GUI application interacts with the reference design’s hardware elements through a UART interface (a PCIe option is also available). An application (with optional basic Linux PCIe driver/API) is also provided for memory mapped read/write access to the internal registers.
