- agwa 12y agoAs someone who's currently facing that daunting task myself, may I ask what you ended up doing? Did you have to roll your own reliable stream-oriented protocol?
- geofft 12y agoWhy isn't that "just" either using lwIP, or using your host's TCP running against a TUN/TAP device and then encapsulating the data you read from /dev/net/tun into your custom datagram protocol? (This is not meant to be dismissive, just inquisitive. I'm sure it can't be anywhere near as easy as what I said, I'd just like to learn why.)
