Tomas,

For v.11:

1) Use File -> New -> Nios II Application and BSP from Template

2) simple "Hello World" is OK

3) Steps 25-28: Right-click project lwIP_NIOS_II_Example and select Properties, expand <Nios II Application Properties>, select <Nios II Application Paths>, add the paths into <Application include directories>

As for the performance, probably it is possible to tweak lwIP or Iniche to meet your goal, but I would vote for hardware streaming (see UDPOFFLOAD example; ref in msg.# 36 this thread). In my project I use that cores for transmitting only, but receiving ones are also available. lwIP still can be used in background to handle non real-time communications (e.g. web-server or console).
