Socket connections possible?

Hi Sascha, POSIX-like sockets are in development here https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/pull/226 but it only wraps the destiny module (which is the not so eponymously called transport layer implementation of RIOT and used by the project tlayer). The TCP implementation is pretty experimental and mainly based on a dropped internet draft for TCP header compression (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-aayadi-6lowpan-tcphc-01). Maybe you should focus on UDP since it more applicable for the IoT anyways.
