A Socket is a communication end-point unique to a machine communicating on an IP-based network. A socket is composed of:a. Protocol - TCP / UDP / raw IPb. Local IP address. Local Portd. Remote IP address. Remote port.The remote address can be any valid IP address, or 0.0.0.0 for a listening socket, or 255.255.255.255 for a broadcasting socket.Sockets can be implemented over any transport protocol.A Session is a connection between a user (or user agent) and a peer (typically a server) using the session layer of a networking protocol (e.g. telnet, ftp).Thanks.
