A 65-byte packet comprises (65 + 20) x 8 = 680 bits. Therefore, for traffic that consists mainly of 65-byte
packets, the most inefficient traffic possible, the user interface must handle:
40 x 1,000,000,000 bits/sec ÷ 680 = 58.8 Million packets/sec, or one packet every 17 ns.
Case 2 in the figure shows that the user interface requires three cycles to process each 65-byte packet. At
200 MHz, three cycles take 15 ns, which is a sufficiently small amount of time.
The same calculations applied to lower frequencies yield an average time per packet that is not sufficiently
short. Therefore, 200 MHz is the recommended frequency for the two user data transfer interface clocks
in your 50G Interlaken IP core.
