I think you could not. The lwIP communication is based on the same address space. The process has different address space and the pointer in the mail box will be totally useless in current mode.

As far as I known you could not use process.

So what i understand is that LWIP has a process model, we can run TCP/IP Stack on one process and LWIP Application on another.But what i understand is we just fork a thread, not a process,

i mean i do this in sys_arch.c :
sys_thread_new(){
pthread_create;
}

can i exec a process instead of a thread? and how will syncronization work b/w processes, if they aren't threads.

-Thanks
