= Legacy Network Kit (BeOS R5) =

BeOS R5 contained a set of classes that provided C++ networking classes. The core of the functionality was in [wiki:HaikuBook/LegacyNetworkKit/BNetEndpoint BNetEndpoint] which represented a network endpoint that could be bound to a local address, or be connected to a remote endpoint. Data was sent using [wiki:HaikuBook/LegacyNetworkKit/BNetBuffer BNetBuffer] as an intermediary. This class enabled sending and receiving data without doing too much memory management. The final part of the kit is the [wiki:HaikuBook/LegacyNetworkKit/BNetAddress BNetAddress] class, which is an object that represents a local or remote address. 

Haiku is fully compatible with the BeOS R5 network kit, but we suggest you use the updated [wiki:HaikuBook/NetworkKit Network Kit] when writing new(er) software.
