Thank you for your replying,
I checked up The Arria GX FPGA starter kit and unfortunately it is not available on any market and also its very expensive, I need only and FPGA like this one
and also I see in this FPGA on Mouser that is saying
Number of Transceivers: 6 Transceiver is the FPGA limits with limited transceivers ports? isn’t all FPGA IO port can be programed to do anything like ethernet or ....etc.

Based on the link given in my previous note, you can further branch out to search for the development kit that meet your budget.
For stock availablity kindly check with the Distributors in your region.For Cyclone V dev kit, you can refer to below link.

For a design that using triple-speed ethernet (10M/100M/1G), user can choose to use either the on-chip transceiver channels or LVDS I/Os.
However if the ethernet speed is 10G or above, need to use the high speed dedicated transceiver channels.Triple-Speed Ethernet User Guide for your reference:
