Introduction
Collection of Ethernet-related components for both gigabit and 10G packet processing (8 bit and 64 bit datapaths). Includes modules for handling Ethernet frames as well as IP, UDP, and ARP and the components for constructing a complete UDP/IP stack. Includes full MyHDL testbench with intelligent bus cosimulation endpoints.
For IP and ARP support only, use ip_complete (1G) or ip_complete_64 (10G).
For UDP, IP, and ARP support, use udp_complete (1G) or udp_complete_64 (10G).

Testing
Running the included testbenches requires MyHDL and Icarus Verilog. Make sure that myhdl.vpi is installed properly for cosimulation to work correctly. The testbenches can be run with a Python test runner like nose or py.test, or the individual test scripts can be run with python directly.
