Chapter 11

1. Communication channels are used to denote both the physical wiring connection between different systems and the logical communication of data that facilitates computer networks. The latter is related to computing and is more relevant to the idea of asynchronous programming. Asynchronous programming can provide functionalities that complement the process of facilitating communication channels efficiently.
2. The media layers contain fairly low-level operations that interact with the underlying process of the communication channel, while the host layers deal with high-level data communication and manipulation.
3. The transport layer is often viewed as the conceptual transition between the media layers and the host layers. It is responsible for sending data along end-to-end connections between different systems.
4. Server-wise, the asyncio module combines the abstraction of transport with the implementation of an asynchronous program. Specifically, via its BaseTransport...
