[lwip-users] mailboxes and threads

[John Taylor]

I am trying port lwip to XMK which requires resources such as threads
and mailboxes to be pre-allocated.  I am trying to get a handle on how
many threads and mailboxes lwip creates (so I know how many to
pre-allocate).  This is what I have so far.

Threads:
- One thread gets create when tcpip_init() is called.
- An additional thread gets create when a PPP connection is made.  I
presume the thread dies/is-terminated when the connection is torn down.

Mailboxes:
- A mailbox is created the for "tcp_ip" thread
- A mailbox gets created for every connection.  I presume that the
mailboxes get deleted when the connections get dropped/terminated.
 

Is this correct?
