[section:streams Streams]
|
|
|
|
A stream in the context of Beast and networking, represents a full-duplex
|
|
connection between two programs or hosts, where data represented as
|
|
bytes may be received reliably in the same order they were written.
|
|
Streams may support any combination of synchronous and/or asynchronous
|
|
reading and writing.
|
|
|
|
Stream concepts are based on named requirements in networking:
