        !            24: This report describes the internal structure of
        !            25: facilities added to the
        !            26: 4.2BSD version of the UNIX operating system for
        !            27: the VAX,
        !            28: as modified in the 4.3BSD release.
        !            29: The system facilities provide
        !            30: a uniform user interface to networking
        !            31: within UNIX.  In addition, the implementation 
        !            32: introduces a structure for network communications which may be
        !            33: used by system implementors in adding new networking
        !            34: facilities.  The internal structure is not visible
        !            35: to the user, rather it is intended to aid implementors
        !            36: of communication protocols and network services by
        !            37: providing a framework which
        !            38: promotes code sharing and minimizes implementation effort.
