Ethernet Switch 10G

Overview

Comcores Ethernet Switch 10G IP core is a highly configurable and size-optimized implementation of a non-blocking switch that allows continuous transmissions between up to 16 10G Ethernet ports.

The 10G switch supports MAC learning, VLAN 802.1Q, and multicast.
Each port provides a native interface for XGMII Ethernet PHY devices. The number of port is configurable at compile time.

What is TSN?

Morten Kofoed Esbjørn - Feb 14, 2023. TSN, or Time-Sensitive Networking, is a technology based on the IEEE 802.1Q standard. It has evolved from the Ethernet technology currently used to carry all types of traffic, for which ethernet was not originally intended, such as multiple data flows with different timing requirements, commonly found in Audio Video Bridging (AVB), automotive and industrial automation applications. TSN sits in Layer 2 of the OSI Model (figure 1).Figure 1: Illustration of...
