Ethernet performance using TSE in uClinux

Hi all, I am measuring ethernet performance on a NIOS II based board with an Altera TSE IP Core running uClinux, and it's been disappointing so far. I've done timing using TCP and UDP, and bar...

(And of course only if the performance gain is decently proven.)

Should we at least add a paragraph in the "ToDo" section of the NiosWiki ?
