Ah, you're no newbie, are you? I have to check that.

No, that's OK. TCP is the only reliable transfer. Ethernut
is too small to handle so many broadcasts. Most other 8-bit
stacks even crash on heavy traffic. Ethernut seems to be
quite stable, as far as I can say.

Pings (ICMP) and UDP traffic can get lost. Happens often,
when Ethernut needs to reset the Ethernet Controller because
of packet overflow.
