Converting example from using TCP/IP to UDP

[Altera_Forum]

I adapted the example "Nios II Ethernet Simple Socket Server 

on MAX 10 FPGA Development Kit" to send data from a MAX 10 board to a PC with Matlab. The datarate I get is about 5 Mbyte/s with TCP/IP.   Is is simple to change the code to use the faster UDP in stead of TCP/IP? This was suggested by reading that TCP/IP uses the send command, while UDP uses sendto. I hope for a simple command substitution :).  Jos

My experience is that you have to  experiment yourself quite a bit before things work. Most important is that you know now that it can be done.

Unfortunately, I cannot share the code with you, because I developed it for a commercial project.  Jos

You use DHCP. I use fixed IP addresses. Also do not forget 

to disable an eventual fire wall.
