HSR/PRP implementation project, which board is suitable

[Altera_Forum]

hello,  

i am student in communication field. i am looking to make development on the high seamless redundant protocol (HSR). i would like anyone that can advice me what is the best first step to do. and if altera helps me or not. what i want is FPGA card suitable for academical budget that contain at least 4 ethernet ports, in order to make possibilities to make all HSR nodes from danh to redbox and quad box.  Speed of this ports supports tri speed 10/100/1000 mbps or only 10/100.  and does altera give any certain of plans or design manuals?  thank you so much

I've never heard of HSP/PRP so can't comment on them. 

 The Terasic DE4 board is a PCIe card with 4x Marvel 10/100/1000 PHYs  http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&no=501  Its not "cheap", but perhaps you can contact the Altera University Program and ask them for academic pricing, or a hardware donation.  Cheers, Dave
