Re: [lwip-devel] sockets without threads?

[Colin Nichols]

Hi Kieran,

Thank you for your response.  I have nearly completed my sockets 
rewrite, created mostly by mashing together sockets and netconns 
(src/api/sockets.c, src/api/api_lib.c, and src/api/api_msg.c).  It's 
been an interesting experience and I've become quite familiar with three 
APIs provided by lwIP.

The code providing the socket API (api/sockets.c) is considerably more 
involved than what was originally presented in Adam Dunkel's thesis.  It 
seems that the community has come through to provide a much more 
complete implementation, which is great.

However, now that the capabilities of the API have grown, I can't help 
but wonder if there might be a more concise, simple implementation based 
directly off the raw API?  I'd be really curious to benchmark such an 
implementation vs the current one in terms of speed, executable size, 
and memory usage... Has anyone ever thought about doing this?  If not -- 
I might give it a try later this summer...

Best regards,
Colin
