1 lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol
2 suite that has been developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and
3 Networks Architectures (CNA) lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer
6 The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce the RAM usage
7 while still having a full scale TCP. This making lwIP suitable for use
8 in embedded systems with tenths of kilobytes of free RAM and room for
9 around 40 kilobytes of code ROM.
12 * IP (Internet Protocol) including packet forwarding over multiple
14 * ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) for network maintenance
16 * UDP (User Datagram Protocol) including experimental UDP-lite
18 * TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with congestion control, RTT
19 estimation and fast recovery/fast retransmit
20 * Specialized API for enhanced performance
21 * Optional Berkeley socket API
