Re: [lwip-users] Interfacing LwIP for a radio communication

[Ivan Delamer]

Hey Marco,

I would definitely look at the SLIP netif. I've been using it and the 
current code works.

It is basically a point to point IP encapsulation with almost no 
overhead (1 byte). It assumes that both sides already know their IP 
configuration. So you can manually assign IP addresses to each radio 
station and then create a simple driver to connect to the right station 
according to destination IP address.

Cheers
Ivan
