Does lwIP support Zeroconf?

Question

I see that lwIP has some AutoIP (aka IPv4LL, aka RFC 3927) code, but I can\'t tell if it does anything higher up in the Zeroconf stack, namely mDNS and DNS-SD (with RFC 2782

I can't comment on the LWIP part of your question (the last time I used LWIP it didn't even have IPv4LL support), but you might be interested to know that Apple have open-sourced their mDNSResponder code, available from here: http://developer.apple.com/networking/bonjour

The interesting thing about this implementation is that they provide a VxWorks platform layer which may well be a better match for porting to your embedded target than the Avahi library.
