这些是基本的网络概念，所以我将以一种简单而全面的方式详细解释它们。

插座就像电话(即端到端通信设备) IP就像你的电话号码(即你的插座地址) 端口就像您想要与之交谈的人(即您想从该地址订购的服务) 插座可以是客户端也可以是服务器端(例如，在公司中，客户支持的电话是服务器，但你家里的电话主要是客户端)

因此，网络中的套接字是绑定到一对(ip，端口)=(地址，服务)的虚拟通信设备。

注意:

A machine, a computer, a host, a mobile, or a PC can have multiple addresses , multiple open ports, and thus multiple sockets. Like in an office you can have multiple telephones with multiple telephone numbers and multiple people to talk to. Existence of an open/active port necessitate that you must have a socket bound to it, because it is the socket that makes the port accessible. However, you may have unused ports for the time being. Also note, in a server socket you can bind it to (a port, a specific address of a machine) or to (a port, all addresses of a machine) as in the telephone you may connect many telephone lines (telephone numbers) to a telephone or one specific telephone line to a telephone and still you can reach a person through all these telephone lines or through a specific telephone line. You can not associate (bind) a socket with two ports as in the telephone usually you can not always have two people using the same telephone at the same time . Advanced: on the same machine you cannot have two sockets with same type (client, or server) and same port and ip. However, if you are a client you can open two connections, with two sockets, to a server because the local port in each of these client's sockets is different)

希望它能消除你的疑虑

Socket is an abstraction provided by kernel to user applications for data I/O. A socket type is defined by the protocol it's handling, an IPC communication etc. So if somebody creates a TCP socket he can do manipulations like reading data to socket and writing data to it by simple methods and the lower level protocol handling like TCP conversions and forwarding packets to lower level network protocols is done by the particular socket implementation in the kernel. The advantage is that user need not worry about handling protocol specific nitigrities and should just read and write data to socket like a normal buffer. Same is true in case of IPC, user just reads and writes data to socket and kernel handles all lower level details based on the type of socket created.

端口和IP一起就像给套接字提供一个地址，虽然不是必需的，但它有助于网络通信。

套接字= IP地址+端口(数字地址) 它们一起标识机器上网络连接的端点。(我刚刚是不是网络基础课不及格?)

端口:

端口可以指物理连接点 用于外部设备，如串行、并行和USB端口。 术语端口也指某些以太网连接点 如集线器、交换机或路由器上的那些。

套接字:

套接字表示两个网络应用程序之间的单个连接。 这两个应用程序名义上运行在不同的计算机上， 但是套接字也可以用于单台计算机上的进程间通信。 应用程序可以创建多个套接字用于相互通信。 套接字是双向的，这意味着连接的任何一方都能够发送和接收数据。

An application consists of pair of processes which communicate over the network (client-server pair). These processes send and receive messages, into and from the network through a software interface called socket. Considering the analogy presented in the book "Computer Networking: Top Down Approach". There is a house that wants to communicate with other house. Here, house is analogous to a process, and door to a socket. Sending process assumes that there is a infrastructure on the other side of the door that will transport the data to the destination. Once the message is arrived on the other side, it passes through receiver's door (socket) into the house (process). This illustration from the same book can help you: Sockets are part of transport layer, which provides logical communication to applications. This means that from application's point of view both hosts are directly connected to each other, even though there are numerous routers and/or switches between them. Thus a socket is not a connection itself, it's the end point of the connection. Transport layer protocols are implemented only on hosts, and not on intermediate routers. Ports provide means of internal addressing to a machine. The primary purpose it to allow multiple processes to send and receive data over the network without interfering with other processes (their data). All sockets are provided with a port number. When a segment arrives to a host, the transport layer examines the destination port number of the segment. It then forwards the segment to the corresponding socket. This job of delivering the data in a transport layer segment to the correct socket is called de-multiplexing. The segment's data is then forwarded to the process attached to the socket.

套接字是软件中的一种结构。它差不多是一个文件;它有读和写这样的操作。它不是一个物理的东西;它是你的软件引用物理事物的一种方式。

端口是一个类似设备的东西。每台主机都有一个或多个网络(这些是物理网络);主机在每个网络上都有一个地址。每个地址可以有数千个端口。

只有一个套接字可能在某个地址上使用某个端口。套接字分配端口类似于为文件系统I/O分配设备。一旦分配了端口，就没有其他套接字可以连接到该端口。当套接字被关闭时，端口将被释放。

看一下TCP/IP术语。
