NetX is High-Performance

NetX is a high-performance implementation of the TCP/IP standards. NetX achieves its performance advantages through an efficient design that minimizes function calls within the API. In addition, NetX utilizes many performance enhancing ThreadX primitives.

NetX Size Advantages

Only the NetX services used by the application are brought into the final image. This results in the smallest possible TCP/IP implementation.

NetX Endian Optimizations

NetX optimizes endian conversion by using in-line macros instead of adding function call overhead inside the stack.

NetX Checksum Optimizations

NetX performs in-line IP and UDP checksum processing, which improves performance. Only TCP checksums are calculated via a function call. In addition, NetX can be easily configured to bypass any or all checksum operations. This is especially useful for applications with a highly reliable physical interface or when upper layers are also performing data integrity checking.

Easy to Use

NetX is designed for ease of use. The NetX API is designed to be easy to understand, powerful and consistent. The same is true with our reference manual and other supporting documentation.
