When it's initialized, a cellular data connection becomes available for use by the TCP/IP stack (io-pkt). To send and receive data, the client requests a socket through this stack service; for details on doing so, see the Networking Manager entry in the QNX Neutrino Utilities Reference.
The logging information resulting from a new data socket shows the following activity:
