How You Can Use BSD Sockets
The best example of how BSD Sockets can be used is the Internet
Services. These services use BSD Sockets to communicate between
remote hosts. Using the BSD Sockets facility, you can write your own
distributed application programs to do a variety of tasks.
For example, you can write distributed application programs to:
• Access a remote database.
• Access multiple computers at one time.
• Spread tasks across several hosts.
