We do have an Ethernet 10/100 MAC IP core, How do we implement some other protocols by using hardware? such as the UDP, DLC, IPv4, ICMP and ARP? Anyone can recommand what's the first steps we should do?
nelsonguy, this is software stuff , it makes no
sense thinking about those protocols in hardware.
Too complicated and variable, too application/user dependent etc..
may be you can create in hardware some functions
to make some operations faster, like checksums..
but I doubt it would be convenient.
