This is a toy stack, the author notes that several times. No claims were made for completeness.



It is not a toy stack, because it is not a stack. Toy or otherwise.

This does not merely lack completeness. This is an entirely different project that has nothing to do with making an IP stack. It does not even do the first thing an IP stack might do.

I do not get to claim my side project making a compact sandwich is a restaurant either. The author is making sandwiches and should be proud of that because a good sandwich is a great thing, the author should not be telling us he has built a restaurant.


Ok, so it is very far away from a real IP stack, but it can do the first task of an IP stack: respond to pings.

Quit being a douche. The author even bolds it just in case you read the article.
