I checked, I got 11 Mips on the board.

Unfortunately, it is not possible run old nc_test_slave from the box,
because it depends on SO_REUSE, and we cannot manage SO_REUSE from CDL,
more that, if we force it, we'll get error

include/lwip/opt.h:353

Well, I forced SO_REUSE=1 and built the test. I did not noticed that I
got more Mbits with old lwip. The packets out of sequence often, but, at
the least the slave side was responsible with a loading.

FYI

old "udpecho" is responsible on

(while : ; do echo `date`; sleep 1; done)|nc -u -4 <board_ip> 7

and

(while : ; do echo `date`; sleep 1; done)|socat - udp4:<board_ip>:7

but could not manage stress "yes|".

old "tcpecho" could answer on stress "yes".

Simon, thanks for the feedback and the port. It will be interesting to
know other results from other sources (hardware).

Sergei
