New members are added to the network interface
-getaddrinfo
-getaddrinfo_async
gethostbyname is unchanged but gethostbyname_async result param now contains results od DNS records found.
Test cases for sync/async added added to DNS test folder.
MBED_DEPRECATE macros is added to string-based APIs.
New, non-string-based APIs are added in their place.
Wiced binaries rebuilt
Any existing stubs or mocks are adjusted to compile and run with the newly added non-string based functions.
Protocols like mdns requires IPv6 link local address to be advertised in its
records (AAAA record). LWIP::Interface::bringup() API is creating IPv6 link
local address;But as of now there is no API exposed by mbed-os to get the
IPv6 link local address.
This new API is required to deliver mDNS library support on mbed-os for Cypress
platforms. Unit tested it by invoking get_ipv6_link_local_address with a simple
application.
Added Multihoming feature to LWIP (ability to use more than one network interfaces) for increasing networking reliability.
This involves:
LWIP interface
LWIP IP routing
DNS storage
Sockets (bind to interface name possibility)
possibility to add non default network interface
cellular middleware modifications if cellular connection is used
Allow more than one callback to be register to NetworkInterfaces.
This introduces new APIs:
void NetworkInterface::add_event_listener(...);
void NetworkInterface::remove_event_listener(...);
Which internally calls interfaces attach() functions.
