400GbE is required for next-generation, high-performance networking applications. In this video, Achronix demonstrates 400GbE connectivity on a Speedster7t FPGA integrated into a VectorPath™ PCIe Accelerator Card. The demonstration shows 400GbE traffic generated within the FPGA and transmitted across the FPGA’s 2D network on chip (2D NoC) to the Ethernet subsystem. The 400GbE traffic is then looped back and checked within the FPGA fabric to compare to the original data stream.
400GbE refers to the next capacity rate in Ethernet interfaces that can travel through a single link. It's based on the approved IEEE 802.3bs standard that 400GbE physical layers, management parameters, and Media Access Control (MAC) parameters must meet.
