Boris, my comments were not aimed at you personally but at everyone on this and related threads.
In networking, there is no encapsulation and layering is only an abstract concept.
People who don't understand this intrinsically realy don't understand what a network library needs to be about.
when we finally get around to making the network behave like a telephone, where I can "call" a destination (an application on another system) and stream stuff both ways, _then_ the network library will be done. Until then, it's just a bunch of people talking about how difficult it is and how nobody understands.
