socket and Pipe are all togeather different thinks
socket -It is part of OSI LAYER MODEL. in Osi model communication between diferrent layer takes places through sockets.say apllication layer provide services trough certain sockets to presentation layer and presentation layer uses certain other socket to communicate with upper application layer.
socket are used in SECURE SOCKET LAYER NETWORKS
pipes- it is realated to processing of a process in
cpu pipes are segments of a process in execution.
generaly process are divided into distinct segments which are linearly dependent.ie output of first segment become input for next segment and so on
generally by processing multiple pipes simultaneously we can imporve productivity.ie we can run differnt pipe segment simultaneosuly by keeping in mind that they dont indulge in wainting for each other.
