An interface between application and network

The application creates a socket

The socket type dictates the style of communication
1. reliable vs. best effort
2. connection-oriented vs. connectionless

The application can

1. pass data to the socket for network transmission
2. receive data from the socket (transmitted through the network by some other host)
