HI,

Is there any kernel socket api in windows by which I can perform tcp/ip
communication within a kernel driver?

Windows Vista has Windows Sockets for Kernel (WSK). You can use that if your driver is Vista only. For downlevel, there are 3rd party kits including one from OSR itself.

None built-in.

However, communication can be performed via TDI.

If you have no problem with 3rd party components try this:
