+The networking system was designed with the goal of supporting
+multiple \fIprotocol families\fP and addressing styles.  This required
+information to be ``hidden'' in common data structures which
+could be manipulated by all the pieces of the system, but which
+required interpretation only by the protocols which ``controlled''
+it.  The system described here attempts to minimize
+the use of shared data structures to those kept by a suite of
+protocols (a \fIprotocol family\fP), and those used for rendezvous
+between ``synchronous'' and ``asynchronous'' portions of the
+system (e.g. queues of data packets are filled at interrupt
+time and emptied based on user requests).
+.PP
+A major goal of the system was to provide a framework within
+which new protocols and hardware could be easily be supported.
+To this end, a great deal of effort has been extended to
+create utility routines which hide many of the more
+complex and/or hardware dependent chores of networking.
+Later sections describe the utility routines and the underlying
+data structures they manipulate.
