"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". -- Brian May
