Overview
########
Supported Features
******************
The networking stack supports the following features:
* IPv6
* IPv6 header compresson, which is part of the 6LoWPAN support
* UDP
* IPv4
* DHCP client support for IPv4
* IPv6 and IPv4 are supported at the same time.
* TCP
* Both client and server roles are supported
* RPL (Ripple) IPv6 mesh routing
* CoAP
* MQTT
* Highly configurable
* Features, buffer sizes/counts, stack sizes, etc.
Additionally these network technologies are supported:
* IEEE 802.15.4
* Bluetooth
* Ethernet
* SLIP (for testing with Qemu)
Source Tree Layout
******************
The IP stack source code tree is organized as follows:
``subsys/net/ip/``
This is where the IP stack code is located.
``include/net/``
Public API header files. These are the header files applications need
to include to use IP networking functionality.
``samples/net/``
Sample networking code. This is a good reference to get started with
network application development.
``tests/net/``
Test applications. These applications are used to verify the
functionality of the IP stack, but are not the best
source for sample code (see ``samples/net`` instead).
