| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 1 | INTRODUCTION | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 2 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 3 | lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 4 | suite that has been developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 5 | Networks Architectures (CNA) lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 6 | Science (SICS). | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 7 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 8 | The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce the RAM usage | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 9 | while still having a full scale TCP. This making lwIP suitable for use | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 10 | in embedded systems with tens of kilobytes of free RAM and room for | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 11 | around 40 kilobytes of code ROM. | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 12 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 13 | FEATURES | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 14 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 15 | * IP (Internet Protocol) including packet forwarding over multiple network |

| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 20 | * TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with congestion control, RTT estimation | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 21 | and fast recovery/fast retransmit |

| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 35 | DEVELOPMENT | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 36 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 37 | lwIP has grown into an excellent TCP/IP stack for embedded devices, | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 38 | and developers using the stack often submit bug fixes, improvements, | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 39 | and additions to the stack to further increase its usefulness. | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 40 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 41 | Development of lwIP is hosted on Savannah, a central point for | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 42 | software development, maintenance and distribution. Everyone can | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 43 | help improve lwIP by use of Savannah's interface, CVS and the | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 44 | mailing list. A core team of developers will commit changes to the | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 45 | CVS source tree. | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 46 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 47 | The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' CVS module and | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 48 | contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' module. | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 49 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 50 | See doc/savannah.txt for details on CVS server access for users and | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 51 | developers. | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 52 | |

| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 64 | DOCUMENTATION | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 65 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 66 | The original out-dated homepage of lwIP and Adam Dunkels' papers on | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 67 | lwIP are at the official lwIP home page: | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 68 | http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/ | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 69 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 70 | Self documentation of the source code is regularly extracted from the | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 71 | current CVS sources and is available from this web page: | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 72 | http://www.nongnu.org/lwip/ | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 73 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 74 | There is now a constantly growin wiki about lwIP at | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 75 | http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/LwIP_Wiki | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 76 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 77 | Also, there are mailing lists you can subscribe at | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 78 | http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=lwip | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 79 | plus searchable archives: |

| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 82 | |
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 83 | Reading Adam's papers, the files in docs/, browsing the source code | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 84 | documentation and browsing the mailing list archives is a good way to | 
| NirT | 0:c00e6c923941 | 85 | become familiar with the design of lwIP. |
