Hi


Sorry that I miss out your requirement for the QSFP Cage.

The TSE IP could not meet this requirement as the signals from the TSE IP is not compatible to the QSFP Cage.


There are currently 2 examples the Multirate Ethernet IP (Soft IP) and the GTS Ethernet Hard IP (HardIP).

The enhanced GSRD Link that you shared shows the example fot the GTS Ethernet Hard IP.

I would suggest you to check out the example of the Multirate Ethernet IP below:

The difference between these 2 are the supported speed.

Multirate Ethernet IP supports 1GB to 10GB speed

GTS Ethernet Hard IP supports greater than 10GB speed.
