Historically, the loopback driver used the largest packet size of all enabled link layer protocols. This permitted packets to be forward via the loopbak device with no major loss of performance. However, in experimenting with configurations where no other link layer protocols were enabled, this means the loopback packet size was set to the smallest possible size, to the SLIP minimum of 296 bytes. This resulted in terrible loopback performance. This commit adds an option to increase the loopback packet size with the option CONFIG_NET_LOOPBACK_PACKETSIZE. The loopback driver packet buffer should be quite large. The larger the loopback packet buffer, the better will be TCP performance of the loopback transfers. The Linux loopback device historically used packet buffers of size 16Kb, but that was increased in recent Linux versions to 64Kb. Those sizes may be excessive for resource constrained MCUs, however. The network still enforces the lower limit that is the maximum packet size of all enabled link layer protocols. But this new option permits the loopback packet size to be increased from that. * net/Kconfig: Adds CONFIG_NET_LOOPBACK_PKTSIZE option * include/nuttx/net/netconfig.h: Assures that the packet size that is used is at least as large as the largest packet size of other link layer protocols. * drivers/net/loopback.c: Use that larger packet size. * boards/sim/sim/sim/configs/tcploop/defconfig: Set the loopback packet size to 1500

This value is related to the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit), except

that it includes the size of the link layer header; the payload is

Provides the size of the SLIP packet buffers. This size includes

|
|
This value is related to the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit), except
|

that it includes the size of the link layer header; the payload is

|
the MSS (Maximum Segment Size). SLIP has no link layer header so for
|
|
SLIP the MTU is the same as the PKTSIZE.
|
|
|
|
SLIP is required to support at least 256+20+20 = 296. Values other than
|
|
296 are not recommended.
|
|
|
|
The Linux slip module hard-codes its MTU size to 296 (40 bytes for
|
|
the IP+TCP headers plus 256 bytes of data). So you might as well
|
|
set CONFIG_NET_SLIP_PKTSIZE to 296 as well.
|
|
|
|
There may be an issue with this setting, however. I see that Linux
|
|
uses a MTU of 296 and window of 256, but actually only sends 168
|
|
bytes of data: 40 + 128. I believe that is to allow for the 2x
|
|
worst cast packet expansion. Ideally we would like to advertise the
|
|
256 MSS, but restrict transfers to 128 bytes (possibly by modifying
|
|
the MSS value in the TCP connection structure).

amount to allocate slightly oversize packets. After receipt, the

packet size will be chopped down to the size indicated in the TCP

header.

User-space networking stack API allows user-space daemon to

|

Main use for this is to allow use and integration of
|

HW-provided TCP/IP stacks for NuttX.
|

|
|
For example, user-space daemon can translate /dev/usrsock API
|

requests to HW TCP/IP API requests while rest of the user-space

can access standard socket API, with socket descriptors that

can be used with NuttX system calls.

---help---
|
|
Normally, networking initialization occur in the later phase of the
|
|
boot process in the function up_initialize() when it calls the
|
|
driver initialization function, up_netinitialize(). This
|
|
initialization occurs after a sufficient about of the OS has been
|
|
initialized so that driver registration can be performed, but
|
|
before the completion of OS initialization and before the first
|
|
application is started.
|
|
|
|
In a few situations, however, you may want to suppress this early
|
|
network driver initialization. As examples:
|
|
|
|
- If you are using SLIP or PPPD, then there will be no network
|
|
driver to be initialized,
|
|
- Certain multi-network configurations where a simple call to
|
|
up_netinitialize() may be insufficient, and
|
|
- Situations where there are other board-level hardware
|
|
dependencies so that the hardware is not in an appropriate
|
|
state for up_netinitialize() to be called.
|
|
|
|
Examples of this latter situation includes such things as network
|
|
drivers that required some setup via an I2C I/O expander, or network
|
|
drivers that depend on USB, SPI, I2C, PCI, serial, or other
|
|
interfaces that may not be ready when up_netiniailize() is normally
|
|
called.

3. Since there is only a single reassembly buffer, IPv4 reassembly
