Actually is extremely simple. I learned by looking the original papers[0]

As you say, just lots of bad examples online. The only thing that made me a little bit crazy at the beginning, was the fact that TCP is a stream without delimiters, no packet concept. Other than that, is not more difficult than writing and reading a file.

Thank you for referring to a BSD document. Most people have no idea that the modern reference network stack implementation comes from BSD and not Linux.
