How to improve my ethernet's transfer speed?

My board : DE2-115  

SOPCBuilder : DE2_115_WEB_SERVER_RGMII_ENET1 

NIOS II software :Simple_Socket_Server(RGMII) 

Now I can transfer data to my PC in both 1000Mbps and 100Mbps mode. 

But the speed is really low, and 1000Mbps and 100Mbps mode don't have any differences. The speed is about 2.1MB/s. 

My codes in simple_socket_server.c are as follows. 

 

I hope that I can get some help to raise the transfer speed.

Hi, 

a good start is to read the AN440 wich describes optimizations (CPU frequency increase, cache, etc...).

Minimize the number of receive call's by using Bigger TCP packet

Yeah, I also want to use bigger TCP packet. 

I should change the value of SSS_BUF_LEN or something else. 

Please give me some more advice, thank you!
