FCoE Verification IP

Fibre Channel over Ethernet Verification IP provides an efficient and smart way to verify Fibre Channel over Ethernet MAC, PCS and serdes of a SOC or a ASIC.The SmartDV's Fibre Channel over Ethernet Verification IP is fully compliant with standard FCoE Specification (FC-BB-5, Rev 2.00) and provides the following features.

FCoE Verification IP is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env

FCoE Verification IP comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
