RE: [lwip-users] Choosing lwIP

[Pettinato, Jim]

With a bit of digging, it appears to me that Altera farmed out the stack porting/maintenance task to interniche tecnologies, inc. - TCP/IP networking is not Altera's core compentency so I can understand the move. Now they don't have to worry about keeping up to date or supporting issues with the stack software.

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.
