Hi
According to
http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/ref/tcpip-freebsd-networking-stack-features.html
as well as the similar entry for the openbsd port,
UNICAST is not supported!?
Can someone explain to me what that means?
unicast, in this context, means a special point-to-point connection,
primarily supported for IPv6.
I thought unicast was the "normal" way to communicate via TCP/IP.
So how could I address a ecos device, and how could I send requests to
somewhere from an ecos device?
Normal network traffic, based on IP & ARP, works just fine :-)
