Sending and Receiving Data

Once a network connection has been established, the socket is ready to send and receive the data. This is done through two buffers — the TX buffer and the RX buffer. Read on and you will know how to allocate memory for buffers, use them, handle overruns, and perform other tasks related to sending and receiving of data.
