socket Token

The socket token contains information describing an Internet socket. 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.

For the Solaris 8 release, the Internet Address can be displayed as a IPv4 address using 4 bytes, or as an IPv6 address using 16 bytes to describe the type, and 16 bytes to descibe the addresses.
