AROS: Latest state of the TCP/IP stack development
By the title link there is a forum thread at AROS-Exec, which contains
information about the current state of the TCP/IP stack
development for AROS and a screenshot. The latter shows the
browser Mosaic and a simple webserver, Cheetah. An e-mail
client is in development.
According to that thread there are two stacks
under development now. One developer goes for the TCP/IP bounty
and develops a SANA2 compatible driver. That stack might,
like Roadshow, become an AmiTCP heir and accordingly build on the
bsdsocket.library.
The second version is a port of LwIP by those both developers who
contributed the screenshot.
Currently only loopback is working, but a tap/tun driver for
the Linux hosted version of AROS is close.
Here, the bsdsocket.library is a regular, disk based library.
The first call of that library leads to the start of the stack task
and programs may access by the bsdsocket.library the network. But the
driver will be a different one. (snx) (Translation: ub)
