Glossary
Glossary
UNIX software released by the
University of California at
Berkeley.
Binding:
Establishing the
address of a socket which
allows other sockets to connect
to it or to send data to it.
BSD:
See Berkeley Software
Distribution.
Channel:
A communication
path created by establishing a
connection between sockets.
Client:
A process that is
requesting some service from
another process.
Client host:
The host on which
a client process is running.
Communication domain:
A
set of properties that describes
the characteristics of processes
communicating through
sockets. Only the Internet
domain is supported.
Connection:
A
communications path to send
and receive data. A connection
is uniquely identified by the
pair of sockets at either end of
the connection.
See also, “Association.”
Daemon:
A software process
that runs continuously and
provides services on request.
DARPA:
See Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency.
Datagram sockets:
A socket
that maintains record
boundaries and treats data as
individual messages rather
than a stream of bytes.
Messages may be sent to and
received from many other
datagram sockets. Datagram
sockets do not support the
concept of a connection.
Messages could be lost or
duplicated and may not arrive
in the same sequence sent.
Datagram sockets use the User
Datagram Protocol.
Defense Advanced
Research Projects
Agency:
The military arm of
the Advanced Research Projects
Agency. DARPA is instrumental
in defining standards for ARPA
