No, simhost and others are just example programs. lwIP is compiled as a
library and these programs are linked against it.

Run simhost by typing './simhost'. Maybe you need privileges to access the
tap device, so maybe you need to run it as root. After that you have a web
server running on the IP address 192.168.0.2. Try to put this number in a
web browser or "ping 192.168.0.2". That's lwIP working.

BTW, isnt it in the documentation?
