TCP/IP Stacks — AmiTCP, Miami, Roadshow

Overview

AmigaOS has no built-in TCP/IP stack. Third-party stacks provide bsdsocket.library. All stacks present the same API to applications — only configuration and driver support differ.

Stack Comparison

Feature	AmiTCP 3.0b2	Miami 3.2	Roadshow 1.15
License	Free (Genesis fork)	Commercial	Commercial (demo available)
API version	bsdsocket.library v3	v4	v4
IPv6	No	No	No
PPP	Via serial	Built-in	Via driver
DHCP	External (dhclient)	Built-in	Built-in
DNS cache	No	Yes	Yes
SANA-II	Yes	Yes	Yes
GUI config	MUI prefs	Miami prefs	Roadshow prefs
Active development	No	No	Yes (Olaf Barthel)
MiSTer recommended	✅ (free)	—	✅ (most capable)
