Network Stream

Detailed Description

Network streams are used to receive and transmit data packets to and from the adapters. They are an extension build on top of the hardware-based host buffers. Three types of network streams exist:

• RX Network Stream is used to receive data
• TX Network Stream is used to transmit data
• File Network Stream is used to receive data to a file

Note

The streams are not thread safe so using the network stream API must be performed without concurrent access to the stream.
