[ros-dev] lwIP testing request

[Cameron Gutman]

LwIP is in the final stage of testing, pending one bug fix before all known bugs are
fixed. I would greatly appreciate everyone to try it and reply to this email with the
results of your tests. I've already tried many apps including telnetd, chargen, and
abyss web server, samba tng, and Opera 9.6. During my testing, the lwIP implementation
performed flawlessly. It handled several chargen sessions while serving web pages and
servicing open telnet sessions plus being probed by nmap. The only thing that finally
killed the server was a pool leak that caused a win32k assert failure. I also ran a
BitTorrent download and it peaked at 2.3 MB/s down. Web browsing is an absolute pleasure
on lwIP. It really feels like I'm browsing on the host system directly. There are no
more stutters like oskit had. I'd encourage everyone to try it. It's surprising
how well it works especially since I thought oskit was fairly good. My testing on lwIP has
been perfect and I hope everyone else has a similar experience. Please only report bugs
that don't also happen with oskit. Happy testing!
