Description: The file transfer system Socket (Socket), originally from UNIX, is the network communication interface developed by the university of California, Berkeley, UNIX operating system. With the wide use of the UNIX operating system, Socket has become one of the most popular network communication program interfaces.
Socket exists in its specific communication domain (address), only belongs to the same address socket to establish dialogue, Windows Sockets V1.0 currently only supports the domain (AF_INET), all the process of using the Internet protocol suite is applicable to the domain. Normally unless communication protocol support, only the same type of socket can transfer data to each other, Windows Sockets V1.1 version supports two main types of Sockets: streaming socket and a datagram socket, and there's a raw socket, but to ensure the compatibility of network applications, generally do not encourage the use of raw socket.
