Socketbasierter

Socketbasierter is a term used in the context of computer networking and software development to describe a communication method that relies on sockets. A socket is an endpoint for sending or receiving data across a computer network. It is defined by an IP address and a port number, which together form a unique identifier for a communication channel.

Socketbasierte Kommunikation is commonly used in client-server architectures, where a client application connects to a server application using a socket. The client sends requests to the server, and the server responds with the appropriate data. This method allows for efficient and reliable data transfer between applications running on different machines.

The socket API provides a set of functions for creating, connecting, and managing sockets. These functions are available in various programming languages, including C, C++, Java, and Python. The API allows developers to specify the type of socket (e.g., stream or datagram), the protocol (e.g., TCP or UDP), and other parameters to customize the communication channel.

Socketbasierte Kommunikation is widely used in modern applications, such as web browsers, email clients, and file transfer protocols. It is a fundamental concept in network programming and is essential for building distributed systems and applications that require communication over a network.
