specified destination address (defined in Section 3.2.1.3) of the corresponding ICMP Echo Request
message.
Router Solicitations received are responded to by advertising an appropriate Router IP address.
This router address will be based upon the same class B network address of the requester.
Although not necessary for most applications, this feature is included for the potential uses it may
find by our audience.

Data Link Layer (SLIP/PPP)
This version of the stack includes support for the Serial Line Interface Protocol (SLIP). SLIP
is a very simple protocol used primarily for its quick and easy implementation. One major
drawback associated with SLIP is its lack of any accommodation for software flow control
(ASCII control characters XON and XOFF). RAM is a precious and limited resource in most
embedded controllers, and the Cannonball is no exception. The lack of flow control requires
that we maintain a sufficiently large Rx buffer to prevent unexpected overflows.
Subsequent versions will include support for the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). PPP affords the
user with flow control by what is termed “transparency”. Transparency allows one to utilize
standard ASCII control characters by “escaping”, or, encoding them. This, and various other
PPP options, is configured at the beginning of the PPP connection using the Link Control Protocol
(LCP).
