The EMAC module implements a 10/100 Ethernet MAC compatible with the IEEE 802.3 standard using an address
checker, statistics and control registers, receive and transmit blocks, and a DMA interface.

The address checker recognizes four specific 48-bit addresses and contains a 64-bit hash register for matching multicast
and unicast addresses. It can recognize the broadcast address of all ones, copy all frames, and act on an external
address match signal.

The statistics register block contains registers for counting various types of event associated with transmit and receive
operations. These registers, along with the status words stored in the receive buffer list, enable software to generate
network management statistics compatible with IEEE 802.3.
