Sockets may be connection-based which means sender and receiver socket addresses are pre-established before messages are passed between them or connectionless that is sender or receiver addresses must be passed along with each message sent from one process to another.There are different socket address formats,depending on the socket's assigned domain.A domain defines the socket address formats and the underlying transport protocol to be used.The common domains assigned to sockets are AF-UNIX and AF_INET.
