A little more detail would help.  I would say you could extract
UDP with a fairly simple state machine, but would want a real CPU
of some kind for TCP.  TCP has to be able to put the stream
back together even when the data arrives out of order.
(Technically you need to do fragment reassembly for IP, but
maybe you can get out of that one.)  TCP also needs to
ACK for what has arrived, deal with multiple copies of data,
and even more.

Use UDP if you can.

Thanks everyone.
Now the issue is that how will i extract tcp and IP information from
the ethernet frame? What libraries would i include while coding it in
verilog?

If CRC is confusing you, why not taking even parity over the whole
word?

just for information:
TCP/IP chksum calculates chksum on psuedo header which includes some
fields from ip and some from TCP
ip source add
ip destination add
tcp length
tcp protocol number
etc

hi all,
 Im working on a project in FPGAs called "network Traffic Manager" in
verilog implemented in virtex 4. Im using trimode ethernet MAC core in
it. Now i have to send a packet via ethernet to the other machine and
recalculate the checksum. For that i have to first calculate the
cheksum. Now the problem is that im a bit confused as to which
algorithm should I use to calculate the cheksum. I started to work on
TCP/IP checksum algo but now im totally confused b/w TCP/IP checksum
and CRC. So can anyone tell me which algo shud i use?

plz reply asap
thank u
Regards

Normally the ethernet MAC will take care of the CRC, so you will only
need to care about the TCP/IP checksums.
