It isn't. There is no way to implement sockets in Ada without doing system
calls.
Obviously sockets should be included into the standard library. Even
considering embedded targets, socket I/O is probably more relevant there
than text I/O, which is a part of the library.
GNAT sockets could be a good reference point. The only important (for
embedded applications) part missing is raw sockets.

Actually GNAT sockets are more portable than AdaSockets, as they work on a
wider set of targets (e.g. VxWorks). You mean compiler independence.
