Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An application can communicate with a remote process by exchanging data with TCP/IP by knowing the combination of protocol type, IP address, and port number. This combination is often known as a socket address. It is the network-facing access handle to the network socket.
Detailed explanation-2: -Definition: A socket is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the network.
