Hi Joep,

Is this high connectivity really needed ? IP provides a layer for
addressable nodes, but is it really needed for our microcontrollers ? A PIC
will always communicate with one node (a PC for instance) ?

And one way or another, you'll need to implement a data link layer to put
this IP layer above. Which to choose ? SLIP ?

Cheers
Seb
