Uses of Class java.net.SocketAddress (Java SE 15)

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.
