Several years ago I have tried to integrate picotcp network stack into barebox,
please see http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/barebox/2015-June/thread.html#23749
and https://github.com/frantony/barebox/tree/20190707.picotcp
This work can be revived after current picotcp state of affairs investigation.

picotcp supports both IPv6 and TCP.
