Networking

This section describes networking concepts.

Sockets

• Sockets hold two streams: an input stream and an

output stream.

• Each end of the socket has a pair of streams.

Setting Up the Connection

Set up of a network connection is similar to a telephone

system: One end must dial the other end, which must be

listening.
