  27. *
  28. * The TCP/IP communication module provides for a channel of
  29. * communication for the \link ssltls_communication_module SSL/TLS communication
  30. * module\endlink to use.
  31. * In the TCP/IP-model it provides for communication up to the Transport
  32. * (or Host-to-host) layer.
  33. * SSL/TLS resides on top of that, in the Application layer, and makes use of
  34. * its basic provisions:
  35. * - listening on a port (see \c mbedtls_net_bind()).
  36. * - accepting a connection (through \c mbedtls_net_accept()).
  37. * - read/write (through \c mbedtls_net_recv()/\c mbedtls_net_send()).
  38. * - close a connection (through \c mbedtls_net_close()).
  39. *
  40. * This way you have the means to, for example, implement and use an UDP or
  41. * IPSec communication solution as a basis.
  42. *
  43. * This module can be used at server- and clientside to provide a basic
  44. * means of communication over the internet.
