"I actually use SLIP for packetisation over TCP anyway"
Whoa, that's an acronym I haven't heard in a long time.
SLIP/TCP seems redundant. Your serial encoding IP then sending it over TCP/IP? Is this a tunnel?
- rkangel 3y agoTCP is a stream with no packet boundaries. If you want to separate that stream into a series of messages then you need to do packetisation. The SLIP delimiter approach is a pretty good one. You're right that it was originally for segmenting a serial link to send separate IP packets (so you could theoretically have SLIP over TCP over IP over SLIP), but it works just as well in other contexts.
