| Networking |
| ********** |
| |
| * Introduce system calls for BSD socket APIs. |
| * Add IPv4 autoconf support. This adds support for IPv4 link-local addresses |
| (169.254.*.*) |
| * Add TLS and DTLS support to BSD socket API. They are configured via |
| setsockopt() API. |
| * Add support for IEEE 802.1AS-2011 generalized Precision Time Protocol (gPTP) |
| for ethernet networks. A sample application is created to show how to interact |
| with gPTP code. |
| * Add support for PTP clock driver. This driver will be used by gPTP supported |
| ethernet drivers. |
| * Add Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) TX support. |
| * Add support for managing Qav credit-based shaper algorithm. |
| * Add generic TX timestamping support. |
| * Add carrier detection support to ethernet L2 driver. |
| * Add support for having vendor specific ethernet statistics. |
| * Add getter support to ethernet management interface. |
| * Add promiscuous mode support to network interface. A sample application is |
| created that shows how to use the user API for getting all network packets. |
| The native_posix ethernet driver supports promiscuous mode at this point. |
| * Add support for Link Layer Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR). LLMNR is used in |
| Microsoft Windows networks for local name resolution. |
| * Add API to net_pkt to prefill a network packet to a pre-defined value. |
| * Add IEEE 802.1Qav support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver. |
| * Add hardware TX timestamping support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver. |
| * Add multiple hardware queue support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver. |
| * Add gPTP support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver. |
| * Add support for TI SimpleLink WiFI offload driver. |
| * Add support for randomized but stable MAC address in NXP MCUX ethernet driver. |
| * Add extra prints to net-shell for ethernet based network interfaces. The |
| supported features and priority queue information is printed. |
| * Add and fix string to integer conversions in net-shell. |
| * Allow user to configure MAC address filters into ethernet devices. |
| * Catch network interface ON and OFF events in DHCPv4 and renew address lease if |
| we re-connected. |
| * Remove forever timeouts when waiting a new network buffer to be available. |
| * Relay network interface up/down command from net-shell to Linux host for |
| native_posix ethernet driver. |
| * No need to join IPv6 solicited node multicast group for Bluetooth IPSP |
| supported nodes. |
| * Allow external program to be started for native_posix ethernet driver. This |
| allows for example startup of wireshark when zeth is created. |
| * Network packet priority and traffic class fixes and clarifications. |
| * Lower memory consumption in net by using packed enums when applicable. |
| * Correctly notify net_app server when TCP is disconnected. |

| * Enable gPTP support in native_posix, NXP mcux and Atmel GMAC ethernet drivers. |
| The native_posix ethernet driver gPTP support is only for testing purposes. |
| * Network configuration (net_config) library split from the net_app library. |
| (This change requires updating application configs to refer to corresponding |
| NET_CONFIG_* options instead of NET_APP_*). |
| * Moving all layer 2 (L2) network code into subsys/net/l2 directory. |
| * Add MSS option on sending TCP SYN request. |
