Networks before frame fields
Why networking exists, shared-media limits, and packet switching come first — so the MAC/PHY split, frames, and switching land on a real mental model.
Interview-ready depth
A leveled interview module plus per-chapter interview weighting — MAC vs PHY, RGMII, VLANs, switching, PTP, DMA, and the misconceptions that trip candidates.
Design → verify → debug
MAC RTL (frame parser, CRC engine, DMA, FIFOs), a UVM Ethernet agent, and packet-capture debugging for CRC errors, link failures, and DMA issues.
