ppc405ex + gigabit ethernet

Hi,

I benchmarked performance of my network, which contains ppc405EX (Kilauea
board, kernel 2.6.30 from Denx) connected with a linux desktop via gigabit
ethernet. I used the netperf tool:

netperf -t UDP_STREAM -H 192.168.1.1 -- -m 32768

So I was sending UDP packets to the desktop. The resulting speed was about
370 Kb/s. I tried to send the packets to several different computers - with
the same result. So the ppc board is the bottleneck in this case.

Is there any possibility to improve the gigabit capabilities of the
ppc405EX? Is there anyone who achieved a better performance with ppc4xx
boards?

Thanks!

Best,
Lada Podivin
