# TCP/IP thread

When interacting with the network stack using the sequential API, all operations are not handled by the calling thread, but instead are passed to the lwIP network processing (TCP/IP) thread. Inter-thread communication is used inside lwIP to ensure that at the point the API function returns, operation is either complete, or for asynchronous operations, under way.
