Answer / srinivas antarvedi
port : a particular port number on a host
socket: a host and a port
like
-> http port = 80
-> when you fire up google.com
the socket on the server side is google.com:80 this is the server side socket
on your local system where you are browsing the socket is
yourip:port above 1024

Answer / guest
Port : Port no is the s/w address on a computer on the n/w.
for instance smtp : 25 and pop : 109 and so on....
Socket : Socket is the communication path to a port.
Basically Socket = ip + port, so Socket provides the access
to the ip+port
