Native Zephyr IP Stack Basic Features

[nashif]

Reported by Gajinder Vij:

As a developer, I would like an IP stack that supports the features below to give me the flexibility to build comprehensive network applications on top of Zephyr.

• Multi-interface support with IP routing between network bearers
• Simultaneous IPv4/IPv6 support
• Fragmentation support
• Configurability to disable features and reduce memory footprint

Developers should be able to configure their environment to enable the old stack or the new stack as needed using kconfig.

Select sample applications should be ported to use the new stack and made available to developers. New sample applications shall be made available to highlight aspects of the new functionality enabled by the New IP stack.

Acceptance Tests:

• New stack is passing IP stack validation test cases

• Key sample apps ported to use the new stack are exhibit the same expected behavior as the original sample applications

• Additional Sample apps highlighting the new functionality are available and functioning as expected
