Hi all,

I was told that transaction layer communication is the very important thing in SystemVerilog testbench construction.

And in VMM and AVM, they use queue (VMM) or virtual interface (AVM) to mimic the Mail-box idea. Mail-box is defined in standard SystemVerilog standard.

Why they don't use Mail-box directly? Or is there any disadvantage to use Mail-box?

Best regards,
Davy
