i am working on spartan 3e5oo xilinx starter kit fpga and trying to implement tcp ip stack protocols in fpga. My question is whether the c code that has to be used in fpga is different from the c code for tcp ip sockets(socket programming). The link i referred as tcp/ip for socket is as given below:

FPGA programming is done in VHDL or Verilog that are hardware description languages. Do not confuse them with C. To implement a TCP/IP stack on a FPGA you will need to implement the PHY layer probably ethernet using for example VHDL. Then embed a processor core like the xilinx microblaze which will run the TCP/IP stack that you can program using "standard" C.

An overview of IP/TCP stack implementation in FPGA can be found here:

comblock.com/download/com5403soft.pdf (TCP client)
These run on a Spartan-6 at 125 MHz for gigabit Ethernet.
