Raw TCP/IP interface for lwIP 0.5
Raw TCP/IP interface for lwIP
Author: Adam Dunkels
Authors: Adam Dunkels, Leon Woestenberg
lwIP provides two Application Program's Interfaces (APIs) for programs
to use for communication with the TCP/IP code: the sequential API
(often just called "the API") and the raw TCP/IP interface. This
document is intended as a description of the latter. For lwIP versions
lower than 0.5, this API was not documented.
to use for communication with the TCP/IP code:
* low-level "core" / "callback" or "raw" API.
* higher-level "sequential" API.
The sequential API provides a way for ordinary, sequential, programs
to use the lwIP stack. It is quite similar to the BSD socket API. The
model of execution is based on the open-read-write-close
model of execution is based on the blocking open-read-write-close
paradigm. Since the TCP/IP stack is event based by nature, the TCP/IP
code and the application program must reside in different execution
contexts (threads).
** The remainder of this document discusses the "raw" API. **
The raw TCP/IP interface allows the application program to integrate
better with the TCP/IP code. Program execution is event based by
having callback functions being called from within the TCP/IP

programs. In fact, the sequential API is implemented as an application
program using the raw TCP/IP interface.

Program execution is driven by callbacks. Each callback is an ordinary
