|
|
*
|
|
* The TCP/IP communication module provides for a channel of
|
|
* communication for the \link ssltls_communication_module SSL/TLS communication
|
|
* module\endlink to use.
|
|
* 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:
|
|
* - listening on a port (see \c mbedtls_net_bind()).
|
|
* - accepting a connection (through \c mbedtls_net_accept()).
|
|
* - read/write (through \c mbedtls_net_recv()/\c mbedtls_net_send()).
|
|
* - close a connection (through \c mbedtls_net_close()).
|
|
*
|
|
* This way you have the means to, for example, implement and use an UDP or
|
|
* IPSec communication solution as a basis.
|
|
*
|
|
* This module can be used at server- and clientside to provide a basic
|
|
* means of communication over the internet.
