UIP (micro IP)
Encyclopedia
The uIP is an open source
TCP/IP stack capable of being used with tiny 8- and 16-bit microcontrollers. It was initially developed by Adam Dunkels
of the "Networked Embedded Systems" group at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science
, licensed under a BSD style license, and further developed by a wide group of developers.
uIP is widely used in the embedded system
s industry and has been ported to several platforms, including DSP
platforms.
In October 2008, Cisco
, Atmel
, and SICS announced a fully compliant IPv6
extension to uIP, called uIPv6.
Open source
The term open source describes practices in production and development that promote access to the end product's source materials. Some consider open source a philosophy, others consider it a pragmatic methodology...

Embedded system
An embedded system is a computer system designed for specific control functions within a larger system. often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal...
