- errordeveloper 12y agoYeah, exactly. NetBSD's implementation makes sense to use, as it's a rather solid one and very portable. Plus it's probably very general-purpose, while lwIP had never been. Not to say that general-purposeness is the best thing, so that's why I pointed at mTCP, which is actually optimised for multicore systems... Anyhow, I don't think these guys even get their point across. Why have they chosen lwIP in this particular instance actually?
- justincormack 12y agoYes, lwIP only has smallness as a benefit, at the expense of a lot. If we knew what the idea behind the thing was it might be clearer, performance does seem to be an aim.
