Could someone please comment on the following criticism found in Wikipedia:
The FreeBSD TCP/IP network stack port included with eCos is out of
dateâcirca 2001âand exposes systems using such to numerous security and
stability vulnerabilities (FreeBSD RELENG 4 4 0 RELEASE for IPv4 and
FreeBSD's origin KAME for IPv6). Official eCos maintainers do not appear to
monitor FreeBSD or KAME for security or stability updates, but rather rely
on minimal and insufficient bug reports from users of eCos.
The SNMP package is rudimentary at best, once again, apparently due to its
age.
Is a more robust TCP/IP stack for eCos available at cost?
Thanks,
/Mikhail
