Detailed Description

The functions in the architecture specific module implement the IP check sum and 32-bit additions.

The IP checksum calculation is the most computationally expensive operation in the TCP/IP stack and it therefore pays off to implement this in efficient assembler. The purpose of the uip-arch module is to let the checksum functions to be implemented in architecture specific assembler.

Function Documentation

uip_add32()

void uip_add32	(	uint8_t *	op32,
		uint16_t	op16
	)

Carry out a 32-bit addition.

Because not all architectures for which uIP is intended has native 32-bit arithmetic, uIP uses an external C function for doing the required 32-bit additions in the TCP protocol processing. This function should add the two arguments and place the result in the global variable uip_acc32.

Note

The 32-bit integer pointed to by the op32 parameter and the result in the uip_acc32 variable are in network byte order (big endian).

Parameters

op32	A pointer to a 4-byte array representing a 32-bit integer in network byte order (big endian).
op16	A 16-bit integer in host byte order.

uip_chksum()

uint16_t uip_chksum	(	uint16_t *	data,
		uint16_t	len
	)

Calculate the Internet checksum over a buffer.

The Internet checksum is the one's complement of the one's complement sum of all 16-bit words in the buffer.

See RFC1071.

Note

This function is not called in the current version of uIP, but future versions might make use of it.

Parameters

data	A pointer to the buffer over which the checksum is to be computed.
len	The length of the buffer over which the checksum is to be computed.

Returns

The Internet checksum of the buffer.

The Internet checksum is the one's complement of the one's complement sum of all 16-bit words in the buffer.

See RFC1071.

Parameters

data	A pointer to the buffer over which the checksum is to be computed.
len	The length of the buffer over which the checksum is to be computed.

Returns

The Internet checksum of the buffer.

uip_ipchksum()

uint16_t uip_ipchksum

(

void

)

Calculate the IP header checksum of the packet header in uip_buf.

The IP header checksum is the Internet checksum of the 20 bytes of the IP header.

Returns

The IP header checksum of the IP header in the uip_buf buffer.

Definition at line 320 of file uip6.c.

uip_tcpchksum()

uint16_t uip_tcpchksum

(

void

)

Calculate the TCP checksum of the packet in uip_buf and uip_appdata.

The TCP checksum is the Internet checksum of data contents of the TCP segment, and a pseudo-header as defined in RFC793.

Returns

The TCP checksum of the TCP segment in uip_buf and pointed to by uip_appdata.
