Uses of Class java.net.SocketAddress (Java SE 14 [build 36])

Packages that use SocketAddress
Package	Description

Uses of SocketAddress in java.net

Subclasses of SocketAddress in java.net
Modifier and Type	Class	Description
`class`	`InetSocketAddress`	This class implements an IP Socket Address (IP address + port number) It can also be a pair (hostname + port number), in which case an attempt will be made to resolve the hostname.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`SocketAddress`	Proxy.`address()`	Returns the socket address of the proxy, or `null` if its a direct connection.
`SocketAddress`	DatagramSocket.`getLocalSocketAddress()`	Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to.
`SocketAddress`	ServerSocket.`getLocalSocketAddress()`	Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to.
`SocketAddress`	Socket.`getLocalSocketAddress()`	Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to.
`SocketAddress`	DatagramSocket.`getRemoteSocketAddress()`	Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is connected to, or `null` if it is unconnected.
`SocketAddress`	Socket.`getRemoteSocketAddress()`	Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is connected to, or `null` if it is unconnected.
`SocketAddress`	DatagramPacket.`getSocketAddress()`	Gets the SocketAddress (usually IP address + port number) of the remote host that this packet is being sent to or is coming from.
