Description
This issue summarizes the ongoing effort of improving the GNRC network interface (
gnrc_netif_t
) and surrounding mechanisms.This was originally in the scope of the #12688, but I decided to split it in a different scope to make it easier to follow.
The goal is to provide a more efficient integration of link layers into GNRC, optimize the usage of RAM in cases with more than one interface and have a more reliable IRQ processing from network devices.
