Yes, if you use the Interniche stack all the protocols will be handled automatically and you can just use the standard socket API.

As for the example design, I don't think they made any for the DSP kit that includes the Ethernet interface. You can have a look at the nios ii 3c120 design example (http://www.nioswiki.com/exampledesigns/niosii3c120designexample) on the Nios Wiki.

For the software side you can create a Simple Sockets Server project directly from the IDE.
