==== Introduction =====
  : //A socket is defined to be the unique [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:identification|identification]] to or from which
    information is transmitted in the network. The socket is specified as a 32
    bit number with even sockets identifying receiving sockets and odd sockets
    identifying sending sockets. A socket is also identified by the host in
    which the sending or receiving [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:start|processor]] is located.//
