The Arduino
Ethernet Shield allows an Arduino board to connect to the internet. It is based
on the WiznetW5100ethernet chip. The Wiznet W5100 provides a network (IP)
stack capable of both TCP and UDP. It supports up to four simultaneous socket
connections. Use the Ethernet library to write sketches which connect
to the internet using the shield. The ethernet shield connects to an Arduino
board using long wire-wrap headers which extend through the shield. This keeps
the pin layout intact and allows another shield to be stacked on top.
