User-mode 4.4BSD-Lite2 TCP/IP Stack

User-land TCP/IP stack from 4.4BSD-Lite2, a companion of W. Richard Stevens's immortal work TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2: The Implementation, with a focus on TCP chapters. TCP/IP Illustrated vol.2 uses 4.4BSD-Lite as its example, a slightly early version. TCP/IP code of 4.4BSD-Lite2 is roughly the same as FreeBSD 2.0.

This is not a fork of https://github.com/sergev/4.4BSD-Lite2, which contains the whole 4.4BSD-Lite2.tar.gz. This repository only contains usr/src/sys of the tarball, ie. the kernel source.

How to build and play

$ make

This build a few executables:

• objs/test_init TCP three-way handshake, you can step through code with GDB
• objs/test_self TCP self-connection
• objs/test_pigeon ICMP echo request/response
• objs/test_tun Connect to host with TAP/TUN device.
  • BSD stack is attached to tun0, its IP address is 192.168.0.2, listens on port 1234.
  • Try ping 192.168.0.2 or nc 192.168.0.2 1234, also watch the packets with tcpdump -n -i tun0.

This TCP/IP stack is alive, using tap/tun device on Linux. (WIP)

4.4bsd-lite2's Issues

如何用eclipse debug？

我把所有源文件拖到工程中之后，下一步应该怎么做？

Which system，This code can build.

怎么编译安装也。

能有详细的文档介绍么。我在学习tcp/ip 2 实现这书。
