2. About this IP

The 100G Ethernet Intel FPGA IP implements the 100G Ethernet Specification, Draft 1.6 from the 25 Gigabit Ethernet Consortium and the IEEE 802.3by 25Gb Ethernet specification. The IP includes an option to support unidirectional transport as defined in Clause 66 of the IEEE 802.3-2012 Ethernet Standard. The media access control (MAC) client side interface for the 100G Ethernet Intel FPGA IP is a 64-bit Avalon® streaming interface. It maps to four 25.78125 Gbps transceivers. Transceiver interface to 25GBASE-SR optical Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) transceiver is supported.

The F-Tile Low Latency 100G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP provides standard MAC and physical coding sublayer (PCS), Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction (RS-FEC), and physical medium attachment (PMA) functions shown in the following block diagrams. The PHY comprises the PCS, optional RS-FEC, and elective PMA.
