What about TCP/IP?

ORe is NOT a TCP stack. It just multiplexes the real hardware NIC for use by several aapplications. If you want to use TCP/IP or equivalent protocols, you will have to implement them in your own application.

For TCP/IP there already is a library in pkg/ore/lib/uip. This library is a port of the uIP stack to ORe. This stack is targetted at 8bit microprocessors and therefore is only a minimal TCP implementation. A major drawback is that it can have only one packet travelling around at a time and does not send the next one before the first's ack was received. uip-ore is implemented as a library and examples for its use can be found in the examples section.

Future work will include the porting of a "real" IP stack to ORe. Recommendations are welcome, and currently include:

• lwIP (http://www.sics.se/~adam/lwip)
• some kind of FLIPS v2.0
