[lwip-users] [lwip]testing and evaluating TCP/IP stacks: an idea

[address@hidden]

Hi everyone,

I'm reading some lines on a thread in comp.arch.embedded about TCP/IP 
stacks on 8 bit platform ("TCP/IP on 8 bit micros"), very interesting 
especially the messages written by the magic Adam.

There are so many topics and issues related to TCP/IP not covered in 
any book (or likely present in technical papers, not accessible for 
everyone) that could be very important when we wonder why a stack works 
but it doesn't works as we would expect.
I guess that many technicians (like me) that aren't network designers 
read books as Tanenbaum's one, so this is (in my modest opinion) the 
average level of knowledge.

Why don't write a document on these hot topics?
Arguments:

- advance TCP/IP stack behaviour

- TCP/IP stacks evaluation

- TCP/IP stacks testing

I know it is an hard work, but it would be very usefull for someone as 
me that haven't got a deep network background.
I'm ready to collaborate, even if my english isn't very good. I have 
yet cut and paste some messages from newsgroup and written myself some 
notes for testing a stack.

Thanks,

Andrea
