How does the GPIB-ENET Handle TCP/IP Packets?

Hardware: GPIB>>External Controllers/Convertors>>GPIB-ENET

Problem:
When communicating using TCP/IP, data is sent in packages. How does the GPIB-ENET handle these packets?

Solution:
Since the GPIB-ENET can support many different ethernet connections, it does not have one large buffer for handling these packages. In fact, it uses the functions malloc and free as necessary to allocate and deallocate memory. Available on the chip is 512Kb of memory, 64Kb is used for stack and system variables and the other 448K is available to be allocated for these packets.
