Rago's book "Unix System V Network Programming" has a fair bit of
information both at the conceptual and programming level. The
official description (which is pretty good) is in "The Unix System V
Release 4 Programmers Guide" STREAMS volume, which is
published in book form by Prentice Hall -
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130206601
Failing those, a good googling will probably get you lots of stuff.
It's pretty horrible. A decent enough *idea*, but the implementation
blows donkeys and the API sucks goats. The network Transport Layer
Interface is *particularly* nasty.
