For keep supporting external APIs with the same name (supposedly there are a larger
number of users of those APIs), BufferedSerial and ATParser are being renamed.
BufferedSerial becomes UARTSerial, will complement a future USBSerial etc.
ATParser becomes ATCmdParser.
* UARTSerial moves to /drivers
* APN_db.h is moved from platform to cellular/util/.
* Original CellularInterface is restored for backward compatability (again, supposedly there
are users of that).
* A new file, CellularBase is added which will now servce as the base class for all
upcoming drivers.
* Special restructuring for the driver has been undertaken. This makes a clear cut distinction
between an on-board or an off-board implementation.
- PPPCellularInterface is a generic network interface that works with a generic FileHandle
and PPP. A derived class is needed to pass that FileHandle.
- PPPCellularInterface provides some base functionality like network registration, AT setup,
PPP connection etc. Lower level job is delegated to the derived classes and various modem
specific APIs are provided which are supposed to be overridden.
- UARTCellularInterface is derived from PPPCellularInterface. It constructs a FileHandle and
passes it back to PPPCellularInterface as well as provides modem hangupf functionality.
In future we could proive a USBInterface that would derive from PPPCellularInterface and could
pass the FileHandle back.
- OnboardCellularInterface is derived from UARTCellularInterfae and provides hooks to
the target provided implementation of onbard_modem_api.h. An off-board modem, i.e, a modem on
a shield has to override the modem_init(), modem_power_up() etc as it cannot use
onboard_modem_api.h.

INTRODUCTION
lwIP is a small independent implementation of the TCP/IP protocol
suite that has been developed by Adam Dunkels at the Computer and
Networks Architectures (CNA) lab at the Swedish Institute of Computer
Science (SICS).
The focus of the lwIP TCP/IP implementation is to reduce the RAM usage
while still having a full scale TCP. This making lwIP suitable for use
in embedded systems with tens of kilobytes of free RAM and room for
around 40 kilobytes of code ROM.
FEATURES
* IP (Internet Protocol, IPv4 and IPv6) including packet forwarding over
multiple network interfaces
* ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) for network maintenance and debugging
* IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) for multicast traffic management
* MLD (Multicast listener discovery for IPv6). Aims to be compliant with
RFC 2710. No support for MLDv2
* ND (Neighbor discovery and stateless address autoconfiguration for IPv6).
Aims to be compliant with RFC 4861 (Neighbor discovery) and RFC 4862
(Address autoconfiguration)
* UDP (User Datagram Protocol) including experimental UDP-lite extensions
* TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) with congestion control, RTT estimation
and fast recovery/fast retransmit
* raw/native API for enhanced performance
* Optional Berkeley-like socket API
* DNS (Domain names resolver)
APPLICATIONS
* HTTP server with SSI and CGI
* SNMPv2c agent with MIB compiler (Simple Network Management Protocol)
* SNTP (Simple network time protocol)
* NetBIOS name service responder
* MDNS (Multicast DNS) responder
* iPerf server implementation

DEVELOPMENT
lwIP has grown into an excellent TCP/IP stack for embedded devices,
and developers using the stack often submit bug fixes, improvements,
and additions to the stack to further increase its usefulness.
Development of lwIP is hosted on Savannah, a central point for
software development, maintenance and distribution. Everyone can
help improve lwIP by use of Savannah's interface, Git and the
mailing list. A core team of developers will commit changes to the
Git source tree.
The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' Git module and
contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' Git module.
See doc/savannah.txt for details on Git server access for users and
developers.
The current Git trees are web-browsable:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lwip.git
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lwip/lwip-contrib.git
Submit patches and bugs via the lwIP project page:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/
Continuous integration builds (GCC, clang):
https://travis-ci.org/yarrick/lwip-merged
DOCUMENTATION
Self documentation of the source code is regularly extracted from the current
Git sources and is available from this web page:
http://www.nongnu.org/lwip/
There is now a constantly growing wiki about lwIP at
http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/LwIP_Wiki
Also, there are mailing lists you can subscribe at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/mail/?group=lwip
plus searchable archives:
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-users/
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lwip-devel/
lwIP was originally written by Adam Dunkels:

Reading Adam's papers, the files in docs/, browsing the source code
documentation and browsing the mailing list archives is a good way to
become familiar with the design of lwIP.
