Hy guys, I'm currently working on a 10/100 ETHERNET mac implementation in an FPGA (using vhdl). in order to simulate my state machine I need to feed a real ETHERNET packet to it (in order to see if the crc check is exeuted correctly etc.). I will realy appreciate to get a complete ETHERNET packet (all bytes from PREAMBLE to FCS) so I could insert it to my modelsim simulation.
the format I'm expecting is as follows..
You could use a network sniffer to capture a packet from your LAN. This will not capture the preamble and is unlikely to capture the CRC. You may get lucky though. I just checked with Ethereal (
Or, you could ask on news:comp.dcom.lans.ethernet, where this question would be on-topic.
Regards, Allan.
thnaks.. luckily, I found a program in the web that generates a complete ethernet packet. This is the link if anyone needs a similar thing..
Regards, Moti.
