The invention relates to a method for transferring a transmission data block from a transmitter to a receiver via an Ethernet connection, which has a memory for storing a transferred transmission data block, and a processor for at least partially processing the transferred transmission data block stored in the memory, wherein the transmitter forms a sequence of Ethernet packets from the data of the transmission data block, each of which comprise administrative data and a transmission data sub-block, which is formed of at least one part of the data, so that the transmission data sub-blocks of the Ethernet packets of the sequence comprise the data of the transmission data block, wherein the administrative data comprises administrative data from which it can be determined whether one of the Ethernet packets is the last Ethernet packet of the sequence, and transmits the formed Ethernet packets via the Ethernet connection to the receiver. The receiver receives Ethernet packets of the respective sequence and writes
