[lwip-users] Speed of LwIP ?

[Lasse Madsen]

Hi all, 

All though I've never used LWIP but been a member here for quite some time
"lurking in the dark" and dreaming about great home projects to come I've
come across a question which I cant find out unless I had a chance to try
LwIP.

If I wanted to stream MP3 from a Shoutcast server on the internet and use
LwIP to connect to the TCP stream how fast a processor should one choose?

What my concern is can LwIP handle 128KB/per sec. plus the (unknown)
shoutcast overhead and LwIP's own code? 

I guess you guys who are using it can be the only ones to tell if it's a
realistic "goal" to obtain that data transfer rate

I was thinking of a Philips LPC series ARM processor running at 60MHz with
ALOT of external memory for buffering the audio and constantly sending the
received audio to an external MP3 decoder chip.

Has anyone tried to transfer large amounts of data through LwIP what
transfer rates did you get and on which platforms?
