Try http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/tlk/tlk.html
and then follow the link to the chapter on networking.
I got the distinct impression that TCP uses packets and that these packets
are sent using IP ie. TCP packets get embedded in IP packets. If you're
using ethernet then the NIC driver embeds the IP packet in an ethernet
packet and transmits.
Lots of packets.
Not a lot of streams.
What would I know, don't even have a beard.
