Using TSocketAddress and TINetSocketAddress

TSocketAddress and TINetSocketAddress encapsulate the address objects.

There are two types of addresses. The first is the generic socket address encapsulated by TSocketAddress. It is always stored in network-byte order. The family determines how the other bytes of the structure is used. The most common value is AF_INET.

The TINetSocketAddress class is derived from TSocketAddress. It encapsulates the Internet address. It stores a complete Internet address which includes an address family (which is AF_NET), a port, and a 32 bit (4 byte) IP address. The class you're more likely to use is TINetSocketAddress. You create the address by specifying the port and an optional address on the constructor.

TINetSocketAddress address(80);
