单个端口可以有一个或多个连接不同外部IP的插座，如多个电源插座。

  TCP    192.168.100.2:9001     155.94.246.179:39255   ESTABLISHED     1312
  TCP    192.168.100.2:9001     171.25.193.9:61832     ESTABLISHED     1312
  TCP    192.168.100.2:9001     178.62.199.226:37912   ESTABLISHED     1312
  TCP    192.168.100.2:9001     188.193.64.150:40900   ESTABLISHED     1312
  TCP    192.168.100.2:9001     198.23.194.149:43970   ESTABLISHED     1312
  TCP    192.168.100.2:9001     198.49.73.11:38842     ESTABLISHED     1312

端口是网络协议用来访问连接的主机的实体。端口可以是特定于应用程序的，也可以是与特定通信媒介相关的。不同的协议使用不同的端口访问主机，如HTTP使用80端口或FTP使用23端口。您可以在应用程序中分配用户定义的端口号，但这些端口号应该大于1023。

端口打开到所需主机的连接，而套接字是网络间或进程间通信的端点。 套接字是由系统通过api(应用程序编程接口)分配的。

更微妙的区别是，当系统重新启动时，端口将出现，而套接字将被销毁。

套接字基本上是网络通信的端点，至少由一个ip地址和一个端口组成。在Java/ c#中，套接字是双向连接一侧的高级实现。

还有Java教程中的一个(非规范的)定义。

单个端口可以有一个或多个连接不同外部IP的插座，如多个电源插座。

这个问题已经有了理论上的答案。我想举一个实际的例子来解释这个问题，让大家对Socket和Port有一个更清晰的理解。

我在这里找到的

This example will walk you thru the process of connecting to a website, such as Wiley. You would open your web browser (like Mozilla Firefox) and type www.wiley.com into the address bar. Your web browser uses a Domain Name System (DNS) server to look up the name www.wiley.com to identify its IP address is. For this example, the address is 192.0.2.100. Firefox makes a connection to the 192.0.2.100 address and to the port where the application layer web server is operating. Firefox knows what port to expect because it is a well-known port . The well-known port for a web server is TCP port 80. The destination socket that Firefox attempts to connect is written as socket:port, or in this example, 192.0.2.100:80. This is the server side of the connect, but the server needs to know where to send the web page you want to view in Mozilla Firefox, so you have a socket for the client side of the connection also. The client side connection is made up of your IP address, such as 192.168.1.25, and a randomly chosen dynamic port number. The socket associated with Firefox looks like 192.168.1.25:49175. Because web servers operate on TCP port 80, both of these sockets are TCP sockets, whereas if you were connecting to a server operating on a UDP port, both the server and client sockets would be UDP sockets.

端口和插座可以比作银行分行。

“银行”的门牌号与IP地址类似。 银行有不同的部分，比如:

储蓄帐务部 个人贷款部 房屋贷款部 投诉部门

因此，1(储蓄账户部)、2(个人贷款部)、3(住房贷款部)和4(申诉部)是端口。

现在让我们假设你要开一个储蓄账户，你去了银行(IP地址)，然后你去了“储蓄账户部门”(端口号1)，然后你遇到了在“储蓄账户部门”工作的一名员工。让我们称他为SAVINGACCOUNT_EMPLOYEE1，用于开户。

SAVINGACCOUNT_EMPLOYEE1是套接字描述符，因此可能存在 SAVINGACCOUNT_EMPLOYEE1到SAVINGACCOUNT_EMPLOYEEN。这些都是套接字描述符。

同样地，其他部门将有员工在他们之下工作，他们类似于插座。
