Networking

The Networking component of the kernel manages network interfaces, protocols, and communication between devices. This includes support for Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other networking technologies.

Overview

The Networking component is responsible for handling all network-related functionalities in the kernel. It includes the network stack, network drivers, and support for various network protocols and interfaces.

Components

1. Network Stack

• Protocol Handling

  • Manages network protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, and ICMP.
  • Handles data packet routing and communication between devices.

• Network Interfaces

  • Manages the integration and communication of network interfaces like Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

2. Network Drivers

• Ethernet Drivers

  • Handles wired network interfaces and communication.
  • Interfaces with Ethernet hardware.

• Wi-Fi Drivers

  • Manages wireless network interfaces.
  • Interfaces with Wi-Fi hardware and manages wireless connections.

• Bluetooth Drivers

  • Handles Bluetooth communication protocols.
  • Includes Bluetooth stack, HCI (Host Controller Interface), and device drivers.

• Other Network Drivers

  • Cellular: Manages cellular network interfaces.
  • VPN: Supports Virtual Private Network configurations.

3. Bluetooth Integration

• Bluetooth Stack

  • Manages Bluetooth communication protocols and profiles.
  • Includes core protocols (L2CAP, RFCOMM) and profiles (A2DP, HFP).

• Bluetooth HCI

  • Provides a communication interface between the Bluetooth stack and hardware.

• Bluetooth Device Drivers

  • Interfaces with Bluetooth hardware chips and adapters.
