The main design criteria is efficiency, while features and compatibility are secondary. The stack will be prepared (interfaced) to work with the network device drivers developed in the project EtherBoot, which has a large base of supported drivers; and also be connected with the Linux networking stack (via a virtual network driver), providing a high level communication mechanism between RTLinux and Linux on the same machine.
