Hi,
When I was playing with my lwipopts.h file, I realized that increasing
TCP_WND size does not effect my memory allocation. Is this the case?
If it is, then what should I do to assure correct operation for the
stack? I think I should adjust my memory allocation accordingly, but I
don't know what should be the policy. How much memory should I allocate
for a given size of TCP Window?
Excuse me if I'm asking something trivial but I'm having hard-time
understanding lwIP's memory allocation scheme on my embedded system.
Kind Regards
Caglar Akyuz
P.S: I'm attaching my options file for convenience.
