As shown in the above diagram in this mode of operation only the 100G Ethernet IP core transmitter is enabled and packet generator is enabled for the generation of packets. For simulation, a partner test bench is instantiated to perform the functionality of the core receiver. This partner test bench will have a core receiver and a packet monitor to verify the received data form the generator.
The following figure shows the simplex TX mode for simulation.
