Very nice David. it also helps to hear about your experiences with lwIP.

We could actually do a stress test on TCP, simulating packet loss by
tweaking a netif driver to:
- drop some incoming packets, i.e. not putting them in pbufs at all.
- lose some outgoing packets (just not sending them on the link).

When this happens (pseudo)random, we have a very good stress
test for TCP's recovery mechanism.

I lost track of which netif you are using? If it's cs8900, I would like
to work along to get such a test going.

Regards,

Leon.
