XAUI is special "XGMII extender interface" used to connect Ethernet 10G MAC and Ethernet 10G PHY together.
XAUI is mainly used to extend the operational distance between MAC and PHY chip and also to reduce the number of required interface signals.
However, XAUI has been EOL in Intel FPGA due to lower demand from customer.
You can refer to below link for further detail.
