Hi,
1. No.
2. In LLB(Link Loop Back) test configuration, the receive DRx outputs are internally connected to the corresponding transmit DXx inputs. So the transmit and receive data will not be latched in registers/memory.
3. It is possible in DLB mode(Data Loop Back). "Successful operation is determined by comparing a receive frame buffer in memory with the corresponding transmit frame buffer in memory."
Thanks.
