Scale Ethernet IP Verification

As Ethernet IP scales to faster interfaces, higher throughput, larger port counts, and more programmable features, verification teams must exercise a rapidly expanding range of traffic conditions and design behaviors. Reproducing those conditions before silicon is available can make it difficult to determine how the design will behave as traffic volume, port utilization, and feature complexity increase.

Effective Ethernet IP verification requires a virtual test environment that can generate repeatable Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic against the design running in hardware emulation. Engineers need to vary traffic patterns and scale, observe forwarding and throughput behavior, and reproduce failures under controlled conditions so they can isolate design issues while the Ethernet IP can still be modified.

Scalable Ethernet IP Verification Solution

Validating Ethernet IP at scale requires repeatable traffic that can exercise the emulated design across increasingly demanding operating conditions. IxVerify provides a virtual Ethernet traffic environment for testing network processor designs before physical silicon is available. Engineers can use it with hardware emulation to generate Layer 2 and Layer 3 traffic, increase test scale, and evaluate design behavior as traffic demands grow. This approach gives verification teams a controlled way to reproduce problematic conditions, observe how the design responds, and investigate issues earlier in the development cycle while changes can still be made to the underlying design.
