Key Points

TCP/IP + MAC IP Cores

 

  • 10G & 25G Ethernet connectivity. Maximum bandwidth delivered with low latency
  • Full RTL Layers 2, 3 and 4, which include Enyx proprietary full-hardware TCP/IP, ARP, ICMP and MAC implementations
  • Easy to use standardized Avalon and AXI-4 interfaces
  • Multiple instances per FPGA and multiple logical interfaces per instance, each of them with a unique IPv4, MAC address, VLAN ID, Gateway and Mask
  • Up to 32768 TCP simultaneous sessions per instance, each of them configurable dynamically in server or client mode
