lwIP pages: Leon Woestenberg's lwIP page Companies using lwIP in their products: UK based Tangent Devices Ltd are incorporating lwIP in their film and video post-production equipment. Axon Digital Design BV in The Netherlands is merging lwIP with their current IP stack for use in the Synapse modular broadcasting system. Projects using lwIP: The ARENA Project - Hockey players equipped with pulse and breathing sensors running lwIP. The Embedded Internet Systems 2001 Student Project - Flow meter and belt tension sensors running lwIP. KOS - The KOS operating system for Sega Dreamcast uses lwIP. Other small TCP/IP implementations: uIP - A very small TCP/IP implementation, suitable for systems with hundreds of bytes free RAM and a few kilobytes of free code space. uC/IP - uC/IP is a BSD-based TCP/IP protocol stack for microcontrollers. Liquorice - Liquorice includes a TCP/IP stack. CPC/IP - A TCP/IP stack for Amstrad CPCs. LUnix - LUnix contains a small TCP/IP stack. JOS - JOS includes a TCP/IP implementation. TinyTCP - A very slim TCP, IP, and FTP implementation. WWWpic2 - Small HTTP/TCP/IP implementation for a PIC. PIC Web Server - Small HTTP/TCP/IP/SLIP PIC implementation. Very small web servers: webACE - World's Smallest Web Server. iPIC - A Match Head Sized Web Server. Related RFCs: J. Postel, Internet Protocol, RFC791, September 1981. J.
