Implementing 10-Gigabit Ethernet Using Stratix & Stratix GX Devices
■
Supports broadcast traffic and multi-cast address resolution with a
64-entry hash table
■
Compliant with the IEEE802.3ae Draft 4.0
■
Implements XGMII, allowing it to interface to XAUI through a
10-Gigabit commercial SERDES
Conclusion
10-Gigabit Ethernet takes advantage of the existing Gigabit Ethernet
standard. With their rich I/O features, Stratix and Stratix GX devices
support the components of 10-Gigabit Ethernet as well as XSBI and
XGMII. Stratix GX devices also support XAUI. These interfaces are easily
implemented using the core architecture, differential I/O capabilities,
and superior PLLs of Stratix and Stratix GX devices.
