Functional Description

The Ethernet 10G MAC core does the following functions:

• Converts TX data packets from AXI ST to XGMII format.
• Decodes RX Data Packets from XGMII format to AXI ST.
• Generates the pause frame to be transmitted at the XGMII Interface.
• Identifies the pause frame and implements the flow control through the pause mechanism based on the decoded PAUSE_QUANT.
• Drops RX Frames with a mismatched address through a bit-wise address filtering mask.
• Drops RX Frames with broadcast address.
