How does smxNS handle error conditions?
The stack generally follows the TCP/IP Robustness Principle “Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send”. Unrecognized information in a frame may lead to the frame being dropped or the information being ignored or declined, depending upon the circumstances. The smxNS library includes a panic function that is intended for use during development. If enabled, the panic function is called when a data structure integrity check fails. This should not happen, but it is possible in catastrophic situations such as memory corruption due to a bad pointer or an incorrectly implemented driver.
