In computer networking, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet protocol suite. The 1Gbit Ethernet/UDP/IP/MAC IP core is a communication core aimed at integrating embedded applications into private Ethernet networks. It provides an effective infrastructure to implement high-speed communication between an FPGA and one or several network devices. Together with standard interfaces, it provides a common command interface for user applications. The controller implements the UDP protocol over a LAN (Local Area Network)
