Jifl, the only concerns i see are :

   1. Difference in the data types of the packets, which a function in the
   middle will have to sort.
   2. IAR TCP/IP calls the input function of the lower layer, whereas in
   lwip lower layer calls the upper layers. i.e. PPP calls IP in lwip for
   in-coming data and IP calls ethernet(or PPP) in IAR.

As for including lwip with IAR TCP/IP i'm already including files necesary
for PPP from the lwip stack. I'm hoping to removed IPv4 and TCP part of lwip
in my implementation. Am i doing a flaw?


Thanks and Regards,
AB
