------------------------
The packet data path functions for transmitting and freeing the rx buffer (defined in the I/O driver) are called from
the esp-netif, specifically from its TCP/IP stack connecting layer. The following API reference outlines these network stack
interaction with the esp-netif.
the esp-netif, specifically from its TCP/IP stack connecting layer.
Note, that IDF provides several network stack configurations for the most common network interfaces, such as for the WiFi station or Ethernet.
These configurations are defined in :component_file:`esp_netif/include/esp_netif_defaults.h` and should be sufficient for most network drivers.
(In rare cases, expert users might want to define custom lwIP based interface layers; it is possible, but an explicit dependency to lwIP needs to be set)
The following API reference outlines these network stack interaction with the esp-netif:
