Difference between a socket and a port
Could someone please explain quite clearly the difference between a port and a socket. I know that a port serves as a door into the network for an application

What did network programs use to communicate before sockets was invented (around 1983?)
Sockets were invented in Berkeley around 1983, but how did networked computer programs work before this? These days, pretty much everything uses sockets, so it’s hard for me to imagine how else programs could communicate and Google turned up nothing.
