+ *
+ * The data are copied in the buffer given by the application to RNET
+ * via this rnet_recv function.
+ *
+ * Datagram oriented (UDP)
+ * -----------------------
+ * When an UDP datagram arrives, the receiver application receives
+ * a T_RNET_RECV_IND message. The application can then read the
+ * datagram with the rnet_recv function. The buffer passed to the
+ * function should be big enough to contain a UDP datagram, otherwise

+ * The OUT value of the len_p parameter can have two possible values:
+ * - If there was data to read and no error detected (function
+ *   returned RNET_OK), len_p contains the size of the received datagram.
+ * - If there was no error, but no data to read, len_p contains 0.
+ *
+ * RNET will only send a new T_RNET_RECV_IND with a specific descriptor
+ * when a rnet_recv function has been called that returned a len_p parameter
+ * with a 0 value. Therefore, the application should loop on rnet_recv when
+ * it receives a T_RNET_RECV_IND message, like:
+ *    UINT16 *len_p = -1;
+ *    while (*len_p != 0) {
+ *      ret = rnet_recv(desc, buff, len_p);
+ *      ...
+ *    }
+ *
+ * Stream oriented (TCP)
+ * ---------------------
+ * When a new stream of data arrives on a connection, the receiver
+ * application receives a T_RNET_RECV_IND. It can then read the flow
+ * with the rnet_recv function, until the len_p parameter is returned
+ * with a 0 value.
+ *
+ * The stack will only send a new T_RNET_RECV_IND message when
+ * rnet_recv has been called and has returned the len_p parameter with a 0.
