You can read the Avalon specification here (http://www.altera.com/literature/manual/mnl_avalon_spec.pdf) and the TSE datasheet here (www.altera.com/literature/ug/ug_ethernet.pdf).

If you have a look at your Sopc builder / QSys project you will see that the TSE's stream interfaces are connected to two DMAs. This is where you can plug in your module.

You can have a look at the nios ii udp offload (http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/nios_ii_udp_offload_example) design example which also uses hardware to generate and receive UDP packets.
