[lwip-users] Re: [lwip] calling arp_tmr() from tcp_slowtmr()

[Chris Borrelli]

Adam,

I see what you are saying...  I will create my own version of the tcp_tmr()
function in the application and implement your suggestion.  This way I am not
changing the 'core' TCP implementation files..

Thanks for the suggestion..
