* \section intro_sec Introduction
|
|
*
|
|
* lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol suite that has been developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and Networks Architectures (CNA) lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS).
|
|
*
|
|
* The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce resource usage while still having a full scale TCP. This making lwIP suitable for use in embedded systems with tens of kilobytes of free RAM and room for around 40 kilobytes of code ROM.

* Development of lwIP is hosted on Savannah, a central point for software development, maintenance and distribution. Everyone can help improve lwIP by use of Savannah's interface, Git and the mailing list. A core team of developers will commit changes to the Git source tree.\n

|
* The original out-dated homepage of lwIP and Adam Dunkels' papers on lwIP are at the official lwIP home page:\n

* http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip/\n
|
|
* \n
|
|
* Self documentation of the source code is regularly extracted from the current Git sources and is available from this web page:\n

|
|
* There is now a constantly growin wiki about lwIP at\n

|
* \n
|
|
* Also, there are mailing lists you can subscribe at\n
|
|
* http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=lwip\n
|
|
* plus searchable archives:\n
|
|
* http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-users/\n
|
|
* http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-devel/\n
|
|
* \n
|
|
* Reading Adam's papers, the files in docs/, browsing the source code documentation and browsing the mailing list archives is a good way to become familiar with the design of lwIP.\n
