Thanks for answering,

I have read the other thread and found the information you've give.

This information is not realy coherent with the avaibility of Gigabit IP core.

What is the use of such IP core?

What is the real advantage of using fpga in place of CPU (i curently use ATOM processor with gigabit lan communication) if the performance are lower with an higher price: An ATOM processor + an intel 82574 is cheaper than a medium class fpga supporting GBit lan.

There something I have missed?
