Overview

Why Vertex-5

We had three choices for FPGA boards: Virtex-5,Vertex-2 & Altera

Embedded tri-mode Ethernet MAC wrapper is available only for Virtex-5 and Vertex-6

Because of which we used Virtex-5 board for our project.

ProcedureImplemented the Tri-mode Ethernet MAC Wrapper

Implemented the IPv4 to IPv6 conversion algorithm

Implemented the IPv6 to IPv4 conversion algorithm

Combine two algorithms to get the NAT64 module

Issues Virtex-5 board only has one Ethernet port

though out NAT64 server needs at least two ports.

Virtex-5 device designs of Tri-mode Ethernet MAC require a Verilog LRM-IEEE 1364-2005 encryption-compliant simulator ModelSim v6.6d Cadence Incisive Enterprise Simulator (IES) 10.2 Synopsys VCS and VCS MX 2010.06)

But any of those simulators are not freely available
