A full TCP/IP stack in under 200 LoC (and the power of DSLs)

Downright impressive. I'm implementing the TCP/IP stack for my OS at the moment, and it's sitting at about 400 lines before TCP (ethernet, IP, DHCP, and ARP). Definitely going to see how I can improve it after this.

A friend of mine made millions selling his TCP/IP stacks since the mid 80s; he has written tens of them, all in various assembly languages.

Let me add that most of his work was for TCP/IP over serial ..

Hi Daeken,

That's impressive. Are you writing your OS for study purposes or you have something special in mind? I am interested in knowing as I am planning to do the same and might want to consult you.

There's a post about the background and motivation for the OS (Renraku) here: http://daeken.com/renraku-future-os

If you want to talk more about it or OS dev in general, feel free to ping me on IRC (Daeken on freenode) or on AIM (bloomfilter).

Are you doing this for fun or do you have something else in mind ? I'm curious :)

Just something that's interested me for years. Might eventually become a part of some commercial embedded devices I've planned, but that's a long way out.
