[lwip-users] lwIP instead of BSD stack regarding IPv6

[leder-christian]

Hello,

i have a project where IPv6 is required. I have to examine the lwIP’s TCP/IP stack regarding its IPv6 capability and if it is an alternative to the BSD stack. Because of having limited memory space on the embedded target controller, lwIP with the lower footprint is preferred. Since I am just a rookie I considered to join the mailing list. I have some questions especially using the IPv6 stack. Are there any experiences? Or restrictions for using it?  The operating system in my project is eCos. The current version of the lwIP stack is not implemented, but v1.3.2.

One concrete question is concerning the address eCosCentric in the limitations: “The DNS client support only returns IPv4 addresses”. What does this mean?

I hope anybody can help me and has already some experiences about IPv6. Thank you very much!

Best regards, Christian
