Removed the old lwIP homepage from the example web server filesystem and replaced it with a simple web page with short information about the lwIP project. Previously the web pages in the example web server was a large portion of the final .tar.gz file.

<h3>Development version</h3>
<p align="justify">
The latest development code from the CVS is also avaliable <a

very well be unstable and might not even compile.
</p>
<h3>Source code online</h3>
<p align="justify">
Joe MacDonald has put an HTML version of the latest lwIP source code
online at <a
href="http://www.deserted.net/lwIP/">http://www.deserted.net/lwIP/</a>.
</p>
<h3>Ports</h3>
<p align="justify">
Florian Shulze has ported lwIP to DJGPP/MS-DOS and to Visual C++
6.0/Win32. They can be downloaded <a
href="http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg10836/dev/djgpp/lwipdjgpptest-0.1.zip">here</a>
(DJGPP/MS-DOS) and <a
href="http://homepages.fh-giessen.de/~hg10836/crowproductions/dev/lwip-win32-msvc-0.1.zip">here</a>
(Visual C++ 6.0/Win32).
</p>
<h3>Add-ons/drivers/applications</h3>
<h4>DHCP client</h4>
<p align="justify">
Leon Woestenberg from Axon Digital Design B.V. has written a CS8900a
network interface driver and is currently developing a DHCP client for
lwIP. They can both be found <a
href="http://www.esrac.ele.tue.nl/~leon/lwip/">here</a>. The plan is
to eventually integrate Leon's DHCP client in the main lwIP
distribution.
</p>
<h4>IGMPv2 implementation</h4>
<p align="justify">
Steve Reynolds of Citel Technologies Ltd. has donated his IGMPv2
implementation for lwIP to the community. It is avaliable for download
<a href="download/igmpfiles.zip">here</a> (note that the copyright and
license differs slightly from lwIP - read the license in the igmp.c
file). The plan is to integrate his code into the main lwIP
distribution.
</p>
<h4>Alternative BSD socket layer</h4>
<p align="justify">
Paul Sheer has incorporated lwIP into his PaulOS system and has
written an alternative BSD socket layer. It is avaliable for download
<a href="download/bsdsocket.c">here</a>. It is copyright Paul Sheer
and licensed under the <a

<h1>lwIP - A Lightweight TCP/IP Stack</h1>
<p>
The web page you are watching was served by a simple web
server running on top of the lightweight TCP/IP stack <a
href="http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/">lwIP</a>.
</p>
<p>
lwIP is an open source implementation of the TCP/IP
protocol suite that was originally written by Adam Dunkels
of the Swedish Institute of Computer Science but now is
being actively developed by a team of developers
distributed world-wide. Since it's release, lwIP has
spurred a lot of interest and has been ported to several
platforms and operating systems. lwIP can be used either
with or without an underlying OS.
</p>
<p>
The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce
the RAM usage while still having a full scale TCP. This
makes lwIP suitable for use in embedded systems with tens
of kilobytes of free RAM and room for around 40 kilobytes
of code ROM.
</p>
<p>
More information about lwIP can be found at the lwIP
homepage at <a
href="http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/">http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/</a>.

<h2>Using lwIP with or without an operating system</h2>
<p align="justify">
There has been a few questions about how lwIP can be used in a
standalone environment (i.e., an environment without a multi-threaded
operating system) lately. The purpose of this document is to describe
how lwIP is designed to be used with and without a multi-threaded
operating system.
</p>
<center><img src="os.png"></center>
<h3>The lwIP single-threaded core</h3>
<p align="justify">
The core of lwIP consists of the actual implementations of the IP,
ICMP, UDP, and TCP protocols, as well as the support functions such as
buffer and memory management. The core components are the only ones
that are needed when lwIP is to be run in a single-threaded (non-OS)
environment.
</p>
<p align="justify">
The core components can be viewed as a software library which has the
following interface:
</p>
<ul>
<li><tt>ip_input(pbuf, netif)</tt>: Takes an IP packet and the incoming network
interface as arguments and does the TCP/IP processing for the packet.
<li><tt>tcp_tmr()</tt>: Should be called every 100 ms. Does all TCP
timer processing such as doing retransmissions.
</ul>
<p align="justify">
Because none of the core functions ever needs to block when run in a
single-threaded environment, the <tt>sys_arch</tt> (the operating
system abstraction layer) does not need to implement locking
semaphores or mailboxes. In future versions of lwIP, the dependancy of
the <tt>sys_arch</tt> will be removed in the single-threaded case.
</p>
<p align="justify">
A simple main loop for a single-threaded system might look
like this:
</p>
<pre>
while(1) {
if(poll_driver(netif) == PACKET_READY) {
pbuf = get_packet(netif);
ip_input(pbuf, netif);
}
if(clock() - last_time == 100 * CLOCK_MS) {
tcp_tmr();
last_time = clock();
}
}
</pre>
<h3>lwIP in a multi-threaded system</h3>
<p align="justify">
lwIP is designed to be able to be run in a multi-threaded system with
applications running in concurrent threads. The model used in this
case is that all TCP/IP processing is done in a single thread. The
application thread communicate with the TCP/IP thread using the
sequential API.
</p>
<center><img src="threads.png"></center>
<p align="justify">
The inter-thread communication is implemented in the two files
<tt>api_lib.c</tt> and <tt>api_msg.c</tt>. The former contains the
functions used by the application programs and the latter implements
the TCP/IP stack interface. A third file, <tt>tcpip.c</tt>, handles
incoming packets and timer events as described in the previous
section.
</p>
<p align="justify">
When run in a multi-threaded environment, incoming packets are handled
by the function <tt>tcpip_input()</tt>, which takes the same arguments
as the <tt>ip_input()</tt> function. The difference between the two
functions is that the <tt>tcpip_input()</tt> function does not process
the incoming packet immediately. It merely puts the packet on a queue
which later is drained by the TCP/IP thread.
</p>
<p align="justify">
When being run in a multi-threaded system, timer events are taken care
of internally in <tt>tcpip.c</tt>.
