Sequencer
Sequencer is connected to Driver through Tlm port

Tx_Agent

Driver
Once the reset is done
Gets the transaction from sequencer
Checks the for vlan type or non vlan ype
Frames the packet accordingly
Sends the Frame to DUT in terms of 16 byte chunks
After eop is send, wait for idle clk cycles specified for the packet

Sequence
Pkt_Size

Sequence
Calculates the total no.of bytes w.r.t RATE ,TYPE_OF_TRAFFIC &
TOTAL_TIME_PERIOD
Distribution of rates for each queue w.r.t RATE
Calculate total no. of packets w.r.t to SIZE_OF_PACKET & total no.of bytes for each queue
No. of Idle_Clks for each queue
transaction items(Sequence_item class) are randomized w.r.t to the constraints & user inputs
and each packet generated is sent to driver along with Idle_Clks.
