General Description

Network Packet FIFO Core stores an incoming datastream in a conventional packet FIFO, but it also keeps track of the packet lengths of the individual packets. The packet length is the inserted in the output packet stream in the tuser signal while the full packet is transferred the tuser signal is held constant. Within a network stack, the size of a future packet often has to be known in advance. Thats where this module can be used.


The existing IEEE Std. 802.3-2008 standard is applicable to the Ethernet MAC core, including Network Packet FIFO core.


The so_ip_network_packet_fifo core can be evaluated using Xilinx Evaluation Platforms before actual pur- chase. This is achieved by using a demonstration bit files for KC705 platform that allows the user to connect the So-Logic's complete 1G Ethernet solution system to some other Ethernet enabled device (PC or some Ethernet tester equipment) and evaluate system performance under different transfer scenarios.
