Hi Mario,
I presume your MCU's ethernet is 100 Mbps? Is it connected directly to
the PC via ethernet or are they both connected to a switch? If a
switch, what speed is the PC connection to the switch versus the MCU
connection? If the PC is 1 Gbps and the MCU is 100 Mbps, your MCU will
never be able to keep up. What percentage of packet loss are you seeing?
How many packets per second (and what size) are you calling "full
speed"? I've found the LwIP stack on the Tiva was quite reliable and
robust enough to support very high speed reception of UDP packets. I
usually queue up the received pbuf's to be processed in the "foreground"
for best results (unless your processing of the UDP packets is truly
minimal?).
