This making lwIP suitable for use +in embedded systems with tens of kilobytes of free RAM and room for +around 40 kilobytes of code ROM. + +FEATURES + + * IP (Internet Protocol) including packet forwarding over multiple network + interfaces + * ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) for network maintenance and debugging + * IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for multicast traffic management + * UDP (User Datagram Protocol) including experimental UDP-lite extensions + * TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with congestion control, RTT estimation + and fast recovery/fast retransmit + * Specialized raw/native API for enhanced performance + * Optional Berkeley-like socket API + * DNS (Domain names resolver) + * SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) + * DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) + * AUTOIP (for IPv4, conform with RFC 3927) + * PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) + * ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) for Ethernet + +LICENSE + +lwIP is freely available under a BSD license. + +DEVELOPMENT + +lwIP has grown into an excellent TCP/IP stack for embedded devices, +and developers using the stack often submit bug fixes, improvements, +and additions to the stack to further increase its usefulness. + +Development of lwIP is hosted on Savannah, a central point for +software development, maintenance and distribution. Everyone can +help improve lwIP by use of Savannah's interface, CVS and the +mailing list. A core team of developers will commit changes to the +CVS source tree. + +The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' CVS module and +contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' module. + +See doc/savannah.txt for details on CVS server access for users and +developers. + +Last night's CVS tar ball can be downloaded from: + http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs.backups/lwip.tar.gz [CHANGED - NEEDS FIXING] + +The current CVS trees are web-browsable: + http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/lwip/lwip/ + http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/lwip/contrib/ + +Submit patches and bugs via the lwIP project page: + http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/ + + +DOCUMENTATION + +The original out-dated homepage of lwIP and Adam Dunkels' papers on +lwIP are at the official lwIP home page: + http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/ + +Self documentation of the source code is regularly extracted from the +current CVS sources and is available from this web page: + http://www.nongnu.org/lwip/ + +There is now a constantly growin wiki about lwIP at + http://lwip.scribblewiki.com/ + +Also, there are mailing lists you can subscribe at + http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=lwip +plus searchable archives: + http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-users/ + http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-devel/ + +Reading Adam's papers, the files in docs/, browsing the source code +documentation and browsing the mailing list archives is a good way to +become familiar with the design of lwIP. + +Adam Dunkels <adam@sics.se> +Leon Woestenberg <leon.woestenberg@gmx.net> + |
