Implementing Gigabit Ethernet Communication with UDP on FPGA
Overview of the UDP Protocol
The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a fundamental transport layer protocol in the OSI model, offering an unreliable, connectoinless communication service. Defined in IETF RFC 768, UDP operates over IP and uses a simple header format. Its protocol number in IP packets is 17 (0x11).

Direct Ethernet Interface Operations in C: Opening, Configuring, Reading, Writing, and Closing
Performing low-level Ethernet interface operations in C involves direct system calls and network device control, requiring administrative privileges and a deep understanding of the operating system and network stack.
Accessing the Interface
Accessing an Ethernet interface typically involves obtaining permissions to configure and manipulate it. ...

FPGA Implementation of ARP Protocol Using MII Interface
Role of ARP in Network CommunicationWhen a host initiates network communication, the application layer is aware of the destination IP address and port number but lacks knowledge of the target's hardware (MAC) address. Since network interface cards process incoming packets at the physical layer first, any frame with a mismatched destination MAC ...
