wRTOS provides networking capability through a base component called the Network Link Layer (NL2) and a set of optional protocol components above the NL2. These components run within the RTSS environment.
The NL2 offers raw access to the Ethernet hardware, while the protocol components offer high-level functionality such as gPTP (generalized Precision Time Protocol), TCP/IP, and EtherCAT. Applications can use the services of one or more of these network components simultaneously.
