Hi Joep, Is this high connectivity really needed ? IP provides a layer for addressable nodes, but is it really needed for our microcontrollers ? A PIC will always communicate with one node (a PC for instance) ?
And one way or another, you'll need to implement a data link layer to put this IP layer above. Which to choose ? SLIP ?
