So the FPGA is sending Ether to your desktop, and then the desktop is sending via the same Ethernet cable to the NFS server? Although I agree the data rate is small enough that it should be able to handle it ... Maybe you want to try just adding a 2nd ethernet card to the workstation. Let the fpga write to the workstation via eth0, and let the workstation write to the nfs server via eth1. Can't read & write at the same time on a single ethernet interface. You might just be suffering due to lack of buffering capabilities... Either in the workstation NIC, or the fpga. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
