Re: [lwip-users] RIP and OSPF support

2014-09-03 Thread Sergio R. Caprile
There is a thread on a guy needing something like source routing last
month, in which Simon discussed some hooks to provide routing.
As far as I can see, you are better off using embedded Linux. Even
though nothing forbids you from runnig RIP or OSPF on top of lwIP and
build a routing table and routing hooks, my (probably educated) guess is
that the amount of resources you'll need to run the Dijkstra algorithm
in OSPF (which depends on the size of the visible network) will probably
justify the usage of something closer to a full-blown OS.

Hi Sergio,

   thanks for the reply, you are probably talking about the LWIP_HOOK_IP4_ROUTE
and this sounds like a yes to my first question! We do have to implement
our own stack per a customer requirement (even though it will be running on
top of a Linux OS, they have their reasons for that, but running a stack in
user space is something really odd). Nevertheless, your point about
resource usage for the routing algorithms is something I will bring up to
their attention, thanks a lot!

Best Regards,
Wendel
