>socket
Just in case anyone's not seen the term 'socket' before: this is a logical address comprised of the IP address and port. So, for instance, if you have a web server listening on port 80 on your local loopback interface with IP address 127.0.0.1, you can connect to the webserver via the socket with address 127.0.0.1:80
