At least make sure to set the UDP buffer
http://www.ethernut.de/api/group__xg_udp_socket.html
Otherwise you may lose too many incoming packets.

AFAIK, there is no UDP benchmark available. I'd roughly estimate about 
300 packets per second, may be up to 400. Typically sending will be a 
bit slower than receiving on the Ethernut side.
