+INTRODUCTION
+
+lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol
+suite that has been developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and
+Networks Architectures (CNA) lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer
+Science (SICS).
+
+The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce the RAM usage
+while still having a full scale TCP. 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

+
+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.
