Network semaphores - required reading?

Hello,

I have a problem that reminds me of the discussion of Squeak's network
semaphores.  Google was somewhat informative, but spawned additional
questions.  

Is it fair to say that the network semaphores are essentially flow
control devices that would be transparent to users of read and write
streams connected to a socket?  

Is there any relevant theory that I should study?  Any pointers to
literature?
