Abstract: A network communication method for use in a system kernel where a network data transceiver thread and a listening socket are created. The method includes steps of: associating the network data transceiver thread with the listening socket and adding the listening socket into an epoll queue; listening, by the listening socket, events in the epoll queue and performing, when sensing an event requiring to transmit/receive data, a specific operation corresponding to the event and sending a notification to the network data transceiver thread associated with the listening socket; and transmitting/receiving, by the network data transceiver thread, a network data according to the notification from the listening socket. A network communication system is also provided.
