Description:
lwIP - A Lightweight TCP/IP Stack

lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite that 
has been developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and Networks Architectures 
lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science as part of the Connected 
project. 

The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce the RAM usage while 
still having a full scale TCP. This makes lwIP suitable for use in embedded 
systems with tenths of kilobytes of free RAM and room for around 40 kilobytes 
of code ROM. 

As Adam Dunkels is heavily involved in another project at the institue at this 
time (September 2002), regular contributors to lwIP have volunteered to 
maintain lwIP using CVS to merge documentation, fixes and extensions, with 
Adam\'s agreement. Once Adam has CVS in place at the Swedish Institute of 
Computer Science, this project probably is used as Adam Dunkels new lwIP source 
code baseline.

After that, this project might co-exist with Adam\'s baseline and provide a 
base for more experimental or radical architecture changes in lwIP.

This project is already available at http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/
