picoTCP is a small-footprint, modular TCP/IP stack written in C for embedded systems and IoT devices. It is portable to many microcontrollers and operating systems with minimal porting effort.

Use cases

  • add TCP/IP networking to a microcontroller project
  • implement embedded IoT connectivity without a full OS network stack
  • run a TCP/IP stack in Linux user space via TUN/TAP
  • port a lightweight network stack to a new MCU platform
  • use IPv4/IPv6 networking on resource-constrained devices

When to choose

  • you need a small, modular TCP/IP stack for embedded or IoT hardware
  • you want a portable C network stack that runs on many MCUs and compilers
  • you need user-space networking on Linux or Windows via TUN/TAP

When to avoid

  • you need a fully GPL-free commercial license without negotiation
  • you target high-throughput server-grade networking rather than embedded devices
  • you need a stack with frequent recent releases and active community development
