2.34.2 Rationale

Many Scheme implementations have their own socket APIs however there are no portable way to write socket programs. Therefore programmers need to provide implementation dependent layers for their programs.

This document specifies high and middle range of socket interfaces which are commonly used for socket programming. It should make it easier to write portable programs that need to send or receive data from their socket.
