"Sockets" does not mean "TCP/IP".
You can also have Unix domain sockets, which I don't have the
overheads of TCP/IP. An example: X-Windows usually uses Unix domain
sockets for communications to/from client applications because it is
considered better (for local applications) then TCP/IP.
However, the poster didn't make it clear what he was referring to when
he said "sockets".
