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...

To be honest, it needs to be very fast (> 60 MByte / sec data). We need to send 200 MBytes of data from our board to a PC, and based on the specs we figured GigE was the most versatile and configurable (and also the cheapest).

Will I never achieve that throughput using UDP, Nios II and the TSE core?

My understanding was that the TCP/IP component of the Nios Processor was really slow, but that using Jumbo frames and UDP, we could get very high data rates.
