MyIP
MyIP is an IP stack in userspace.
It will listen on a tap-, promiscuous, slip or ppp device for network frames containg e.g. ARP-requests, IP packets, ICMP(6), UDP and even NTP, VNC, SIP, MQTT and HTTP requests. Also LLDP, NDP, Socks, syslog, PPP, SLIP, NRPE, DNS (client), SCTP, MDNS and SNMP. When multiple interfaces are configured, it can also route between them.
I wrote MyIP to see how difficult it is to writen an IP-stack. Maybe it is of use to anyone?

how I test it
Below are my notes on how my test-setup looks like. It is made up of 3 computers connected via LAN/serial-PPP links. This to give you an idea how to configure it and what can be done with it.
M: management
T0: uplink MyIP
T1: test network between MyIP and testhost
T2: test network between testhost1 and routed testhost2
