| This
is a very simple "TCP/IP" protocol stack, used in simple
networks. |
| PRO: |
- Useful
in small-scale, non-critical networks where error checking is not
required
- Inexpensive solution for very small networks
- Small software can fit on 8-bit microcontrollers
|
| CON: |
-
Often are really proprietary serial protocols that is not really
TCP/IP
- Requires expensive gateway hardware and software to interface to
outside systems
- At least two points of SW maintenance, the microcontroller and the
gateway |
