10GbE on 1GbE network

Hi all,

Maybe its a beginner question .. :)

Can we use a 10GbE board (with 10GbE UDP/IP core) in order to receive UDP packets at 200Mbps rate from an external network ? i mean, is there any problem with the two rates ?

Thanks

Shalom

    The core needs to be multispeed and also handle 1GbE. The PHY chip will automatically synchronize to the highest speed achievable by the two partners (1Gb/s) so the core must be able to communicate with the PHY at that speed.
