Refactor network stack #160

Closed OlegHahm closed 10 years ago

OlegHahm commented 11 years ago

Though the network stack is implemented in a mostly modular manner, it's difficult to find the implementations for the several layers at the first glance. My proposal to restructure the sys/net folder as follows:

sys/net/linklayer
- ieee802154
sys/net/netlayer
- 6LoWPAN
- IPv6
sys/net/routing
- rpl
sys/net/transportlayer
- destiny_TCP
- destiny_UDP

Your structure suggests, that sys/net/ is the traditional IOT stack.

Where to place the ccn-lite network stack? ccn-lite stack is based directly on the transceiver api, so it should go in sys/ccn-lite !? or place it in sys/net/ccn-lite to show that it is a network stack?

OlegHahm commented 11 years ago

Every implementation of a network protocol should go into sys/net in my opinion. Besides the proposed folders sys/net would also still contain cross layer folders like net_help.
