Gigabit ethernet card for LHCb DAQ system

In order to transmit a large quantity of experimental data,350 GBE cards are needed in LHCb experiment,which employs millions of nuclear detector channels.GBE card is a quad full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet Card.Each aspect of GBE design will be introduced in detail in this paper,including its hardware design,implemented network protocol,test methods and so on.
