Maybe some of the eCos people have. They tend to run the faster 32-bit
processors, of which some may be hooked up to a gigabit Ethernet PHY
over PCI.

(I think the major part of what determines the performance on such
configurations is the device driver and processor plus bus, not so much
lwIP itself. (Although our TCP stack may not scale to very low network
round-trip latencies, not sure there).

Although lwIP will probably not match the big BSD stacks in performance
numbers, but this is just my guess.)

At least, also try asking on the eCos list would be my best advice here.

Leon.
