Dear yadnesh
 
tcp_accept would get called if some client tries to connect on a listening port .Just pingining does not trigger tcp module .
Your second query is not clear .There is always a need of some ethernet driver to actually send the data physically on cable. So low_level_xxx functions need to be implemented

Subject: [lwip-users] "minimal" on unix

Hi All,

I am working on Linux and have just started learning about lwIP functionality.  So, studying the example ..../contrib/ports/unix/proj/minimal

There seem to be 2 different types of implementation examples provided.
1) using echo.c
    In this tcp_new(), tcp_bind(), and tcp_accept() are used. 
    I am really confused about working of this implementation.  tcp_accept() has specified echo_accept() as a callback function for all packets received over the network interface.  But echo_accept() never seems to be called when I ping the IP address. 
Could somebody please give me some pointers about what is happening here and whether I am doing something wrong?

2) using mintapif.c
    This works perfectly fine for replying to ping. 
I have the following doubts:
1) Does lwIP communicate directly over the Ethernet "eth0"?  or the "tap" driver is always required?
2) Is it mandatory for all applications to write code for low_level_init(), low_level_input(), and low_level_output() ?

Thanks and Regards,
Yadnesh Phadke
