Network Core Helpers

Overview

The network subsystem contains two functions for sending and receiving data from the network. The net_recv_data() is typically used by network device driver when the received network data needs to be pushed up in the network stack for further processing. All the data is received via a network interface which is typically created by the device driver.

For sending, the net_send_data() can be used. Typically applications do not call this function directly as there is the BSD Sockets API for sending and receiving network data.
