As high-speed computation and data transfers rise, layered protocol subsystems become increasingly prominent. Verification IP (VIP) play a crucial role in verifying these protocols, with the complexity of the test environment growing proportionally with the complexity of the design under verification. Traditional VIP development, centered around controllability and observability, might fall short with next-gen, layered, and multiplexed protocols. This makes us think of an approach to scale the VIP horizontally along with the reusable standards to minimize the development cycle and look for ways to enhance reusability, controllability and observability of a VIP. In this paper, we would like to propose a solution to develop a reusable VIP that accounts to scale for multi-layer multiplexed protocols with enhanced controllability and observability.
