Re: [lwip-users] Choosing lwIP

Stacy,

I am not familiar with Altera products or their perspective on network stacks.  I have been using lwip ver 1.2 for about a year now and have found it to be very stable and reliable.  I am using it in the "polled API" mode and am not using it with an RTOS and I am not using the IPv6 so I can not comment on that.  However for normal embedded use I have found it to be very useful and the comments from these emails are very good.  I can recommend it within in the context of how I am using it.

Subject: [lwip-users] Choosing lwIP

Folks…

 

I’m looking into TCP/IP stacks and am very interested in lwIP.  However, on the Altera website, they do not recommend lwIP for new development because they said it is legacy, or deprecated.  Is this true?  Does anyone out there have any ideas of why they would say this?  Does lwIP have support for IPv6?  Could this be the issue?  And if lwIP does not currently support IPv6, what is the schedule for developing such support?  Or, are there other technical capabilities lwIP does not support that commercial solutions might?

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

…Stacy
