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, IPv4 and IPv6) 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 + * MLD (Multicast listener discovery for IPv6). Aims to be compliant with + RFC 2710. No support for MLDv2 + * ND (Neighbor discovery and stateless address autoconfiguration for IPv6). + Aims to be compliant with RFC 4861 (Neighbor discovery) and RFC 4862 + (Address autoconfiguration) + * UDP (User Datagram Protocol) including experimental UDP-lite extensions + * TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with congestion control, RTT estimation + and fast recovery/fast retransmit + * raw/native API for enhanced performance + * Optional Berkeley-like socket API + * DNS (Domain names resolver) + + +APPLICATIONS + + * HTTP server with SSI and CGI + * SNMPv2c agent with MIB compiler (Simple Network Management Protocol) + * SNTP (Simple network time protocol) + * NetBIOS name service responder + * MDNS (Multicast DNS) responder + * iPerf server implementation + + +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, Git and the +mailing list. A core team of developers will commit changes to the +Git source tree. + +The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' Git module and +contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' Git module. + +See doc/savannah.txt for details on Git server access for users and +developers. + +The current Git trees are web-browsable: + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lwip.git + http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lwip/lwip-contrib.git + +Submit patches and bugs via the lwIP project page: + http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/ + +Continuous integration builds (GCC, clang): + https://travis-ci.org/yarrick/lwip-merged + + +DOCUMENTATION + +Self documentation of the source code is regularly extracted from the current +Git sources and is available from this web page: + http://www.nongnu.org/lwip/ + +There is now a constantly growing wiki about lwIP at + http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/LwIP_Wiki + +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/ + +lwIP was originally written by Adam Dunkels: + http://dunkels.com/adam/ + +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> |
