Uses of Class
java.net.SocketAddress

Packages that use SocketAddress

Package	Description
java.net	Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.
java.nio.channels	Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.

Uses of SocketAddress in java.net

Subclasses of SocketAddress in java.net

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
class	InetSocketAddress This class implements an IP Socket Address (IP address + port number) It can also be a pair (hostname + port number), in which case an attempt will be made to resolve the hostname.
