hi , do you have any plan to convert your lua code to Arduino ESP core

Very nice! May I ask a few questions?

1. (This is very general question) Can you estimate how many simultaneous WiFi-to-Ethernet sockets/connections might be possible with ESP8266?
2. Sorry if I missed this, but... in your source-code I do not see where you read/write to the ESP8266 WiFi? Of course, for basic WiFi-to-Ethernet bridge we must [read from WiFi, write to Ethernet] and [read from Ethernet, write to WiFi], for each of N sockets.
3. WIZnet Ethernet interface is a good option, but in my application, I might use separate MCU which has internal Ethernet interface. I suppose SPI interface from ESP8266 to external MCU would be a good choice?

Thank you again for the useful project! And thank you for any reply you can provide.
