Designed and developed a full duplex 10/100 MAC which interfaced to an Intel PHY, no backoff. Implementation of the IP layer, fragmentation was not an issue since the UDP client would not deliver over MTU sized packets. Wrote a UDP stack on top of the 10 /100 MAC & IP layer to communicate with PCs in a custom environment. UDP stack was able to verify checksum, deliver packets to the IP layer or the proper application. Skipped delivering an ARP solution by statically routing the PCs MAC to a predefined MAC for the demo to succeed in an extremely deadline oriented environment. Developed a UDP chat application in a Windows environment to interface with the Ethernet portion of the bridge. Heavy use of various packet analyzers to help solve problems during deve lopment. Worked in a team to design and develop an Ethernet to Bluetooth bridge to be used as a future LAN access point.
