Ethernet Project Questions

The document discusses Ethernet protocols, including how Ethernet works at the data link layer, the structure of Ethernet frames with different fields, minimum and maximum frame sizes, how padding is used, advantages and applications of Ethernet. It also discusses the Ethernet encoder, how it generates 10Mbps clocks and encodes data, test cases written for the Ethernet project including assertions and coverage, the top module, timing parameters like bit time and slot time, how the CRC is calculated, where multiplexers and demultiplexers are used. The document also discusses an Ethernet generator project, including how it generates addresses and payloads, the registers used, how the environment and scoreboard logic was developed, test cases, assertions and coverage written for it, what
