<p>The TCP/IP communication module provides for a channel of communication for the <a class="el" href="group__ssltls__communication__module.html">SSL/TLS communication module</a> to use. </p>
<p>In the TCP/IP-model it provides for communication up to the Transport (or Host-to-host) layer. SSL/TLS resides on top of that, in the Application layer, and makes use of its basic provisions:</p>
<ul>
<li>listening on a port (see <code><a class="el" href="net_8h.html#a070a7665a1c2c3a5dc4d78aeef0f29de" title="Create a listening socket on bind_ip:port. ">net_bind()</a></code>).</li>
<li>accepting a connection (through <code><a class="el" href="net_8h.html#aa7c66d2cf24804b92805eb6e598a9763" title="Accept a connection from a remote client. ">net_accept()</a></code>).</li>
<li>read/write (through <code><a class="el" href="net_8h.html#aa76688ccbf03470a6cfc61c025758e9f" title="Read at most 'len' characters. ">net_recv()</a>/<code><a class="el" href="net_8h.html#ab14d74cc7497b93580c6a6ddb7c77561" title="Write at most 'len' characters. ">net_send()</a></code>)</code>.</li>
<li>close a connection (through <code><a class="el" href="net_8h.html#a1b0cf7ff43e2f8edb76e2f4724732cc6" title="Gracefully shutdown the connection. ">net_close()</a></code>).</li>
</ul>
<p>This way you have the means to, for example, implement and use an UDP or IPSec communication solution as a basis.</p>
<p>This module can be used at server- and clientside to provide a basic means of communication over the internet. </p>
