[lwip-users] Odd byte packets in LWIP

[Nishen Naidu]

Hi

 

I'm having a problem sending out packets of odd length on certain occasions.

Does lwip work well with odd length packets?

I read the following comment in some lwip sample code:

/*

 

Important!!! LwIP data alignment issue:
   As of now LwIP code does not handle odd byte length packets properly. So round packets to even byte
   length by adding space characters (' '). This is true only for processors that cannot handle
   mis-aligned memory access.

 

*/

is this correct??

 

Thanks
