8.1 Introduction

The OSKit networking framework encompasses a collection of COM interfaces used by the client operating system to invoke the networking libraries. The individual networking libraries supply additional interfaces to the client operating system for initialization, and may supply additional interfaces for supporting extended features unique to particular networking protocol implementations.

At this point, we have only one interface, the oskit_socket interface, defined. Additional interfaces for configuration, routing, etc., are future work.
