21 years agolwip on half duplex media
Hi
The lwip distrubutable uses an Ethernet controller. I suppose that it's possible to run lwip on top of a another physical layer, e.g. a proprietary radio link between two computers ?? There is a problem is related to the fact that the radio link is half duplex. This problem can be addressed by two methods: - Ignore it. There will be collisioins. The TCP layer will retransmit, but the UDP layer will not. - Add a link layer below IP which will carry packets betweeen the two computers. This link layer will also handle retransmissions. This layer can be e.g. HDLC ? Any good ideas?
