What is the network stack?
The network stack is the set of TCP/IP protocol layers that work together to define communication over the Internet. The software to manipulate these layers is stored in the internal ROM for easy software access. Users can access the stack automatically when programming via TINI, or it can be accessed from user-written C or assembly language routines. Both local and wide area networks can be accessed using the TINI stack. Direct support for Ethernet allows designs that connect to LANs. PPP enables IP over serial, which provides support for networking over wireless connections or through telephone lines using analog modems.
