RE: [ECOS] NAT, NAT-T and VPN Passthrough + VLAN support in eCos

[Lambrecht Jürgen <J dot Lambrecht at TELEVIC dot com>]

Hello,

As far as I know, those networking features are not present in eCos, not in the eCos port of FreeBSD. I don't know the new port of Lw-IP.

Anyhow, a while ago I looked for VLAN (802.1Q VLANs) support in eCos, and my conclusion after a search through the mailing list was:
  use Linux for the more advanced networking stuff.
I wonder what the eCos community thinks about this?

Kind regards,
Jürgen

P.S.: we still have not decide if we will develop VLAN support in eCos, or switch to Linux..
