Summary

In this chapter, we described the remaining (non-IP) protocol address families that Winsock supports and explained addressing attributes specific to each family. For each address family, we discussed how to create a socket and how to set up a socket address structure to begin communication over a protocol covering up to Bluetooth, demonstrated through working program examples.

At this point, we have completed our discussion of Winsock's basic communication techniques and have described all of the available address families that enable you to construct a simple Winsock application. Next chapter will start our discussion of advanced Winsock topics, and we will begin with advanced I/O methods that allow you to manage I/O in a Winsock application. Stay tune!
