I'd like to switch from Nucleus to eCos, but I have some questions about
IP stacks.
Somewhere it says that the eCos IP stack supports: IPv6, DHCP, SNMP
agent, HTTPD, TFTP. Well, that sounds great, but there appear to be 2
IP stacks for eCos: FreeBSD port and the OpenBSD port. Do they both
support these features? Are both in 'good shape'?
I desire the listed features, but I need to keep things small (my system
is 1MB flash and 4MB RAM). Which of the two stacks are smaller?
I see that people are also using the uIP and the lwIP stacks with eCos.
Those are much smaller but they appear very minimal in their features.
Searching thru this mailing list I found a memory comparison that I've
pasted below. It's a little scary to see how much space the FreeBSD
stack takes.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Tom.

IPv6 is only supported in the FreeBSD stack. The OpenBSD stack has
been depreciated. It should still work, but most people now use
FreeBSD.
