Abstract:
Internet appliances at home are still at the beginning stage of development now. Many solutions are provided to connect those home appliances on net by wireless way or through wire. However, this thesis only focuses on the key issue of internet appliances, which is connectivity symbolized by the TCP/IP layer of the internet. This thesis investigates a core implementation of TCP/IP served for internet appliances. We also present the design architecture of this TCP/IP core and those simulation and testing results. We also add one simplified version of application layer, HTTP part, to the TCP/IP core, to make a simple hardware web server. We can see that the TCP/IP core can be well integrated into a system level product.
