Is the Built-In TCP/IP Stack in GPRS Modules Redundant for Embedded Linux, or Are There Benefits?

Good day everyone, I’m exploring GPRS modules for embedded Linux. Many vendors offer modules with built-in TCP/IP stacks. Since embedded Linux usually has its own TCP/IP stack and uses PPP for cellular connections, is this embedded modem stack redundant, or are there use cases where it’s beneficial? @Middleware & OS

It’s mainly redundant. It’s done for MCUs
