11 years ago --- Quote Start --- Hi, I didn't get the point: send and receive packets through the software API. which API software can be used in this case? --- Quote End --- It depends on what you choose to usr as a software platform. The Altera examples use the uCOS II embedded operating system with the Interniche TCP/IP stack. This has a standard bsd sockets api (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bsd_socket) that you can use to send packets from the software. Other developers prefer to use LwIP or Linux. But you will never be able to generate 750Mb+ traffic with a software solution. You need to generate your packets in hardware, and the offload example indicated by ted is a good starting point.
