5		Here we discuss the network components provided by the Tango API. Anyone with even a vague recollection of the old C socket interfaces will recall why network software development has always been such a "trial by ordeal". It is just not fun working with cryptic API's, seemingly inconsistant conventions, and confusing preprocessor macros. Tango, of course, ''~~''really''~~'' tries to make it all easier. The approach, once again, is to make the network API clear and consistant across platforms.

7	7	While claiming an API to be easy does not make it so, we hope the examples and explanations in this chapter will be adequate testimony that Tango "gets it right." The Tango network interface is foundational to many powerful and more complex network objects which will be discussed later.
