The socket token has 6 fields: a token ID that identifies this token as a socket token, a socket type field that indicates the type of socket referenced (TCP/UDP/UNIX), the local port address, the local Internet address, the remote port address, and the remote Internet address. Figure A-23 shows a socket token.
