Hi,
   I want to do a communication module.I am using
sock_create etc for the same purpose.I went thru some
sample code.Everywhere threads are being used.Is it
mandatory to create kernel threads while doing
communication(or using socks) in the kernel ?? If yes
, why ????

TIA
Amber,

No. You can do asynchronous IO on sockets, using
poll(), select() and friends.
