Tcp to Udp modifications

[Altera_Forum]

Hi, 

I'm working on Simple socket server example in which it uses tcp/ip...since I need high transmission speed without control flow... I'd like to use the udp/ip...what kind of modifications should I do in Simple Socket Server example to use udp instead of tcp????  Regards

What bitrate do You need?

at least 5Mbps...

I think that this wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bsd_socket) is a good start to learn how to use the API, and it shows the difference between UDP and TCP handling, from both the server and client sides. 

Remember that with UDP you may loose packets, as you have no flow control or acknowledge mechanism.

edit simple_socket_server.c file and write your own UDP code, disable the previous one completely.

Hello Daixiwen , 

what is the maximum data rate we can achieve on nios using UDP..?

It depends on too many factors to give a generic answer. You must run some tests.
