Implementing the 40G/100G Ethernet protocol in Stratix IV devices

Altera's 40nm Stratix IV GX and Stratix IV GT devices provide a complete solution for developing 40Gbit/s and 100Gbit/s network line card applications. This application note describes how to implement a 40G/100G Ethernet line-side interface using Stratix IV GT devices. It focuses on the following two implementation aspects:
? Transceiver configuration and clocking recommended for 40G/100G Ethernet;
? Interfacing 40G/100G Ethernet Soft IP to the transceivers.
