It sounds reasonable, but it will depend on a number of things eg the the choice of Ethernet chip, the size of the packets you send, the available CPU bandwidth, etc. I would ask around and see if anybody else has a similar setup and see what performance they get.
Just want to add some numbers here: I use a 216MHz Equator BSP-15, which
is a RISC/DSP hybrid that should roughly compare to other 200MHz RISC
architectures for tasks like networking, with a RealTek 8139 100MBit
PCI ethernet controller. Using TFTP to download images from, I get
around 500kByte/s throughput (this is not a typo, unfortunately). Using
the eCos test programs, I got around 1.8 MByte/s maximum (if I remember
correctly; it may have been half that). Linux on the same architecture
is only marginally faster, so I don't think it's a driver issue (note that I'm biased, since I wrote the driver 8^).
