BSD is a programmatic interface to call networking (socket) routines from a programming language (designed to be called by 'C' programs). socket routines allow inter-system data transfers. BSD is commonly used on a variety of platforms (coming from the Unix world) but is not easily accessed from languages other than 'C'. BSD allows access to both TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols.
