Hi,
I am currently evaluating lwIP for usage in one of my project. A
critical decision point is IPv6 support. I checked the source tree and
the readme in core/ipv6 directory says that IPv6 support is "very
experimental". Well my question is how much experimental is this code?
Any chances of this getting stabilized in the near future?
Hmm, I hate to say this, but lwIP probably won't be of much use to you
unless you plan to put some serious effort into fixing it yourself
(which would be very welcom, of course): As far as I know lwIP doesn't
even implement everything that is mandatory for IPv6, I think it can
merely generate IP packets for v6, nothing beyond that.
Aside from that being rather incomplete, you currently have to decide
whether you want to compile the stack for IPv6 _or_ IPv4, so there is no
chance to have a procut with lwIP supporting both versions of the protocol.
As the readme says, the code is really, really _very_ experimental!
Sorry to disappoint you,
Simon
