| |
| lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| lwIP was originally developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and Networks |
| Architectures (CNA) lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) |
| and is now developed and maintained by a worldwide network of developers. |
| |
| 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) |
| * DHCP, AutoIP/APIPA (Zeroconf) and (stateless) DHCPv6 |
| * UDP (User Datagram Protocol) including experimental UDP-lite extensions |
| * TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with congestion control, RTT estimation |
| fast recovery/fast retransmit and sending SACKs |
| * raw/native API for enhanced performance |
| * Optional Berkeley-like socket API |
| * TLS: optional layered TCP ("altcp") for nearly transparent TLS for any |
| TCP-based protocol (ported to mbedTLS) (see changelog for more info) |
| * PPPoS and PPPoE (Point-to-point protocol over Serial/Ethernet) |
| * DNS (Domain name resolver incl. mDNS) |
| * 6LoWPAN (via IEEE 802.15.4, BLE or ZEP) |
| |
| |
| APPLICATIONS |
| |
| * HTTP server with SSI and CGI (HTTPS via altcp) |
| * SNMPv2c agent with MIB compiler (Simple Network Management Protocol), v3 via altcp |
| * SNTP (Simple network time protocol) |
| * NetBIOS name service responder |
| * MDNS (Multicast DNS) responder |
| * iPerf server implementation |
| * MQTT client (TLS support via altcp) |

| 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. |
