Talk:Internet socket

[edit] Suggested merge
I suggest that Ip socket be merged into this article. It appears to be a stub covering the same subject. I plan to complete this merge by 2006-09-08 if there is no objection and/or a consensus is reached. -- Ratarsed 11:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

If this article is about IP sockets then the comment about SNA should be moved elsewhere. SNA only runs over DLSw on the Internet as it as its own lower level protocol. In addition there is not a clear definition here of a socket. Does it include the API? The queue? If there are multiple definitions they should be clearly identified and listed. The higher level definition of "socket" is in error by including "an end-point of a bi-directional communication link in the Berkeley sockets API". Pointing to a parent entity is not a valid definition. User:jbottoms76
