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.
Created (a new) PPP interface for PPP service. Removed lwip
dependencies to PPP (memory allocations etc.). Moved PPP
configuration options away from lwIP mbed_lib.json to new
PPP service. For backwards compatibility, using the old
options is also currently supported.
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
This is slight API change, as a new return code is introduced.
Intention is to properly support asyncronous drivers that might
not be able to get new operation into execution, therefore they
need to return BUSY.
