The PLB can be shared across all peripherals as illustrated.
The "Interrupt Signals" should be connected to the inputs of an interrupt controller
module, for example, the xps_intc core provided with the EDK.
The "Legacy Traffic Interface"
Ethernet AVB Endpoint core connect directly to the xps_ll_temac. This enables the
xps_ll_temac to source and sink all legacy frame data. This legacy data is transferred
to and from the processor domain over a LocalLink interface to a Multi-Port Memory
Controller (MPMC); this contains scatter-gather DMA functionality and access to all
processor memory such as external SDRAM (not illustrated). This allows software
applications running on the processor to easily assemble and disassemble legacy
ethernet packets.

of the AVB specification.

The Ethernet transmitter client clock domain must always be connected to the
tx_clk input of the Ethernet AVB Endpoint core. Additionally, the transmitter clock
enable, as used with the TEMAC, must always be connected to the tx_clk_en input
of the Ethernet AVB Endpoint core.
The Ethernet receiver client clock domain must always be connected to the rx_clk
input of the Ethernet AVB Endpoint core. Additionally, the receiver clock enable, as
used with the TEMAC, must always be connected to the rx_clk_en input of the
Ethernet AVB Endpoint core.
