uIP

[Bittencourt]

Greetings

What are the general impressions about hte uIP stack currently used in eLua (I know Bogdan dislike it, right?).
What are the other possible stacks to port?

Today I stumbled with lwip (http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/), don`t know if it`s better or worse than uIP...

I think we may be leaning towards using lwip in the future, although I
don't know that anyone in particular has done work towards this end.

For ram/space constrained situations I think it might be nice to have
a UDP-only mode so that there's lower resource usage in situations
where a full TCP/IP stack along with the ability to do automatic
retransmission of data.

I believe that in some ways uIP looks a bit like this even for TCP/IP,
since it requires that the user of the stack be able to re-provide
data when TCP/IP re-transmission is necessary.

I've not dug through other small networking stacks out there.  lwIP
and uIP look to be among the more popular tiny BSD-license stacks out
there, and I've heard good things about lwIP.

Here's a stackoverflow discussion on this type of TCP/IP stack:
