dcload-ip is a homebrew program originally developed by Andrew Kieschnick, now maintained by KallistiOS developers and by SiZiOUS at the following repositories:

It is the sister application to dcload-serial.

It allows a developer to use a Broadband adapter or LAN adapter as a link to send, execute, and debug code on a Sega Dreamcast console. It is typically loaded via CD-R, but can also be loaded directly through the BIOS (for example, using DreamDash).

It is able to transfer .bin and .elf files (and srec files, if specially configured for it) over the BBA. It also provides chainloaded programs with a standard syscall interface for communicating with a networked PC. The program is mostly intended for homebrew development, but can also be used with special programs designed to make use of it like Marcus Comstedt's dc-virtcd.
