The socket is the software abstraction used to represent the "terminals" of a connection between two machines.
Clients and server establish connections and communication via sockets , which are communication links that are created over the internet using TCP (or UDP)
Sockets are the endpoints of internet communication stream or channel (logical).
Clients create client sockets connect them to server sockets.
If two processes wish to communication they must each create a socket .Once created , the socket must then be bound to a specific network address.
One process must initiate the connection (This process is called the client). The other process must wait for a connection request (This process is the server).
The client start by trying to establish a connection with the listening socket at a server.
