+A simple application which verifies the 6loWPAN stack is functioning
+correctly. A mote running this will respond to ICMP Echo requests
+(0x80), and provide a UDP echo service on port 7 (a la rfc862).
+
+It also provides a TCP echo service on port 7, and a simple HTTP
+server on port 80. The only resource supported is '/read/leds'. This
+functionality can be used to verify that the TCP stack is functional.
+
+To build, use the 'blip' make target extra. IE,
+
+$ make <platform> blip ...
