Improving Network Processing Technique in Internet Controlled Embedded Systems

The RTCS Embedded Internet stack provides IP networking for the MQX platform. RTCS is provided with a rich assortment of TCP/IP networking application protocols and uses the MQX RTOS drivers for Ethernet or serial connectivity. RTCS is tightly integrated with the latest ColdFire and Power Architecture processors from Freescale and the MQX RTOS and MFS file system. Exponentially growing bandwidth requirements and slowing gains in processor speeds have led to the popularity of multiprocessor architectures. Network stack parallelism is increasingly important to support such architectures.
