Berkeley Sockets

Berkeley Sockets are a programming interface that enable computers to communicate over a network, such as the internet. Think of them as tools that allow software to send and receive data between different devices, whether they’re computers, servers, or other networked systems. They provide a standardized way for applications to establish connections, exchange information, and manage data flow, making it easier for software developers to implement network communication seamlessly. Essentially, Berkeley Sockets act as the foundation for most networked applications, ensuring reliable and structured data exchange across diverse systems.
