Abstract
Internet protocols are constantly gaining relevance for the domain of mobile and embedded systems. However, building complex network protocol stacks for small resource-constrained devices is more than just porting a reference implementation. Due to the cost pressure in this area especially the memory footprint has to be minimized. Therefore, embedded TCP/IP implementations tend to be statically configurable with respect to the concrete application scenario. This paper describes our software engineering approach for building CiAO/IP - a tailorable TCP/IP stack for small embedded systems, which pushes the limits of static configurability while retaining source code maintainability. Our evaluation results show that CiAO/IP thereby outperforms both lwIP and uIP in terms of code size (up to 90% less than uIP), throughput (up to 20% higher than lwIP), energy consumption (at least 40% lower than uIP) and, most importantly, tailorability. © 2012 ACM.
