Re: Regd. Connman features
Hi, It would be very much appreciated, if anyone can provide answers of the below queries: * Apart from WLAN STA support, does connman supports Wi Fi AP role? If yes, is it communicates with hostapd? ConnMan supports wifi tethering (through wpa_supplicant) it's a lightweight AP mode. No hostapd involved. This feature is meant for connection sharing. (and it works with bt, ethernet etc... not only wifi) * Does connman supports P2P feature? Yes * Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported in Connman? Yes * Does connman spawn DHCP client or server based on the interface, i.e DHCP server for AP interface, DHCP server for Supplicant? ConnMan does not spawn any process. It embeds a dhcp client and server directly and it all works much better than any spawn based solution. * Whether auto-configuration is also supported in connman. IPv6 autoconf? If so, then yes. * If packet filtering is supported in connnman? No. It uses a bit of xtables features for nating (for the tethering feature), and some other specific uses, but ConnMan is not a packet filtering frontend.

Hello Tomasz, Thanks a lot for your response. It would really help me to evaluate Connman.

Regd. Connman features
Hello, There is a requirement to use any open source software for connection manager, and here I am thinking to propose Connman for this requirement. I never used it before and also I don't have much time to evaluate what are the features Connman supports, apart from the thing I know that connman supports WiFi connection. It would be very much appreciated, if anyone can provide answers of the below queries: * Apart from WLAN STA support, does connman supports Wi Fi AP role? If yes, is it communicates with hostapd? * Does connman supports P2P feature? * Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported in Connman? * Does connman spawn DHCP client or server based on the interface, i.e DHCP server for AP interface, DHCP server for Supplicant? * Whether auto-configuration is also supported in connman. * If packet filtering is supported in connnman?
