What is the TCP/IP stack?

TCP = Transmission Control Protocol IP = Internet Protocol

IP provides an unreliable connectionless communications protocol that is in wide use on the internet. TCP sits on top of IP and provides reliablility and connections. TCP/IP sits between the application level protocols (such as HTTP) and lower layer stuff (network cards etc)

What does this mean for JOS?

Java provides the java.net package of classes which provide a number of general purpose network related classes. Some of these (in particular the Socket classes) relate to TCP/IP. These classes will need to be implemented under JOS to get TCP/IP networking going.

What is the current status of the project to implement the TCP/IP stack?

This topic is currently under heavy brainstorm on the arch@jos.org list. If you would like to partecipate please read the archives at http://cjos.sourceforge.net/redist/mail/arch/ and subscribe at http://jos.org/mailman/listinfo/arch

RanieriArgentini used to be working on an implementation called JEPS (JOS Experimental Protocol Stack).
