LwIP is used as a TCP stack for TUN functionality. I've noticed that this library works; however, it is not suitable for Narrowlink in the long term due to three main problems:

  1. it's difficult to handle large packets (which causes issues when integrating with WinTun)
  2. troubleshooting difficulties
  3. overhead
