Altera expanded its intellectual property (IP) portfolio with four additions: an ultra-high performance and ultra-low latency 100G Interlaken, 100G Ethernet, 40G Ethernet and 10G Ethernet IP.
The new Interlaken and Ethernet IP cores are optimized for use in Altera’s high-performance Stratix V FPGAs as well as future Generation 10 FPGAs and SoCs. Customers today via early access software are using these best-in-class IP cores in 20 nm Arria 10 FPGA designs.

From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Token Ring (802.5) served 1985–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
Token Ring (802.5) stations passed a small 'token' frame around a logical ring; only the token-holder could transmit, giving deterministic, collision-free access at the cost of ring-management overhead. Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
