it's not easy to get high bandwidth ethernet data off this RFSOC2x2 board: there's a standard parallel zysygy data connector on the board (13 LVDS pairs or 26 single ended), and there are small commercial $300 fpga boards that have several zysygy connectors including high speed serdes zysygy connectors, and there are $50 SFP+ zysygy mezzanine boards...
