| Overview |
| ######## |
| |
| Supported Features |
| ****************** |
| |
| The networking stack supports the following features: |
| |
| * IPv6 |
| |
| * IPv6 header compresson, which is part of the 6LoWPAN support |
| |
| * UDP |
| * IPv4 |
| |
| * DHCP client support for IPv4 |
| |
| * IPv6 and IPv4 are supported at the same time. |
| * TCP |
| |
| * Both client and server roles are supported |
| |
| * RPL (Ripple) IPv6 mesh routing |
| * CoAP |
| * MQTT |
| * Highly configurable |
| |
| * Features, buffer sizes/counts, stack sizes, etc. |
| |
| Additionally these network technologies are supported: |
| |
| * IEEE 802.15.4 |
| * Bluetooth |
| * Ethernet |
| * SLIP (for testing with Qemu) |
| |
| Source Tree Layout |
| ****************** |
| |
| The IP stack source code tree is organized as follows: |
| |
| ``subsys/net/ip/`` |
| This is where the IP stack code is located. |
| |
| ``include/net/`` |
| Public API header files. These are the header files applications need |
| to include to use IP networking functionality. |
| |
| ``samples/net/`` |
| Sample networking code. This is a good reference to get started with |
| network application development. |
| |
| ``tests/net/`` |
| Test applications. These applications are used to verify the |
| functionality of the IP stack, but are not the best |
| source for sample code (see ``samples/net`` instead). |
