Table 3-4: User Interface Width Depends on IP Core Variation
The 40-100GbE IP core provides two different client interfaces: the Avalon-ST interface and a custom interface.
The Avalon-ST interface requires adapters and the custom streaming interface does not require adapters.

40-100GbE IP Core RX Data Bus with Adapters (Avalon-ST Interface)
The adapter for the RX interface of the 100GbE IP core increases the bus width from 5 words (320 bits) to
8 words (512 bits). The adapter for the RX interface of the 40GbE IP core increases the bus width from 2
word (128 bits) to 4 words (256 bits). The Avalon-ST interface always locates the SOP at the MSB,
simplifying the interpretation of incoming data.
The RX MAC acts as a source and the client acts as a sink in the receive direction.
