^^^^^^^^
This directory contains most of the network applications contained
under the uIP-1.0 apps directory. As the uIP apps/README says,
these applications "are not all heavily tested." These uIP apps
include:
dhcpc - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client
resolv - uIP DNS resolver
smtp - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) client
telnetd - TELNET server
webclient - HTTP web client
webserver - HTTP web server
You may find additional information on these apps in the uIP forum
accessible through: http://www.sics.se/~adam/uip/index.php/Main_Page
Additional applications that were not part of uIP (but which are
highly influenced by uIP) include:
dhcpd - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
tftpc - TFTP client
ftpc - FTP client
thttpd - This is a port of Jef Poskanzer's THTTPD HTPPD server.
See http://acme.com/software/thttpd/.
If you use DHCPC/D, then some special configuration network options are
required. These include:
CONFIG_NET=y Of course
CONFIG_NSOCKET_DESCRIPTORS And, of course, you must allocate some
socket descriptors.
CONFIG_NET_UDP=y UDP support is required for DHCP
(as well as various other UDP-related
configuration settings).
CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST=y UDP broadcast support is needed.
CONFIG_NET_BUFSIZE=650 The client must be prepared to receive
(or larger) DHCP messages of up to 576 bytes (excluding
Ethernet, IP, or UDP headers and FCS).
