Hi, 

 Have a look at:  http://www.altera.com/support/examples/nios2/exm-net-std-de.html  That should give you an idea and get you oriented.  Mark.

thank you  

this creates a nios-like configuration in the fpga ? then it would be easier to user the transciever ? fpga--> nios--->pc ?

Hi, 

 There's an awful lot of bookkeeping required to establish and keep an Ethernet link going. You're looking for performance, so what I would suggest is use the NIOS for basic link establishment and management but use DMA to transfer the payload into your own logic and back again. Have a look at:  http://www.altera.com/support/examples/nios2/exm-ethernet-acceleration.html  Otherwise you're looking at implementing the whole protocol stack in logic rather than software.  Mark.
