2.16 - Socket Programming

This video describes about socket, socket programming, type of socket.

"Socket is interface between application and network. An application creates a socket.

-Two type of socket:
1. TCP Socket – Reliable Transmission
2. UDP Socket – Unreliable Transmission

Once configured the application can pass data to the socket for transmission and receive data from the socket (transmitted through the network by some other host).

Type of Socket:
1. SOCK_STREAM - E.g. TCP
- Reliable delivery
- In-order guaranteed
- Connection-oriented
- Bidirectional

2. SOCK_DGRAM - E.g. UDP
- Unreliable delivery
- No order guarantees
- Connection-less
- Unidirectional
