Solutions #1 - Pseudo-TCP/IP . . . . p. 16 
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
