Hi
I'm trying to get
used to lwIP and thus I'm looking for documentation. What I found so far:
1. A document 'Design and implementation of the
lwIP TCP/IP stack' by Adam Dunkels,
which does not seem to be quite up-to-date,
however (written nine years
ago). Should this paper be used any
more?
2. A document 'lwIP 1.3.0' which I think does not help a lot
regarding an application interface.
3. On the lwIP Wiki I see a
'Netconn API' (which is what Dunkel writes about, with functions netconn_xxx and
netbuf_xxx) and a 'RAW TCP' API (which Dunkels does not even mention, with
functions tcp_new, tcp_bind etc).
Is one of these APIs preferable, the better choice? The 'Netconn'
implies the use of a RTOS. On the other hand, does the use of a RTOS exclude the
'RAW TCP' API? Or does it all boil down to a matter of
taste?
Thanks a lot for all clarification.
Walter
