Abstract :
The paper has the purpose to evaluate the performance of the lightweight TCP/IP protocol stack using the digital signal processor Blackfin BF537. The applications of such embedded system are in sensor networking, voice over IP (VoIP) communications and process control in industrial environments. The performance of LwIP stack has been evaluated using the evaluation board EZ-KIT. In this paper we demonstrated that the LwIP stack has good performance, comparable with the TCP/IP stack implementation in operating systems like Linux or Windows. Furthermore, a framework for developing embedded networking applications is provided.
