All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`DatagramSocket`	`createDatagramSocket()` Creates a datagram socket for UDP communication.
`Socket`	`createSocket()` Creates a TCP socket.
`InetAddress`	`getAddress()` Returns the address being used to create sockets.

  - createDatagramSocket
```
DatagramSocket createDatagramSocket()
                             throws SocketException
```
    Creates a datagram socket for UDP communication.
    
    Returns:
    
    the newly created socket
    
    Throws:
    
    SocketException - if binding the socket fails
  - createSocket
```
Socket createSocket()
             throws IOException
```
    Creates a TCP socket.
    
    Returns:
    
    the newly created socket
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if an error occurs creating the socket
  - getAddress
```
InetAddress getAddress()
```
    Returns the address being used to create sockets.
    
    Returns:
    
    the address being used
  - getPort
```
int getPort()
```
    Returns the port being used to create sockets.
    
    Returns:
    
    the port being used
  - getSocketAddress
```
default SocketAddress getSocketAddress()
```
    A convenience method to return the socket address.
    The default implementation simply returns new InetSocketAddress(getAddress(), getPort()).
    
    Returns:
    
    a socket address
  - of
```
static ClientSocketFactory of(InetAddress address,
                              int port)
```
    Creates a new default implementation of the factory which uses SocketFactory.getDefault() for TCP sockets and new DatagramSocket() for UDP sockets.
    
    Parameters:
    
    address - the address to bind to
    
    port - the port to bind to
    
    Returns:
    
    the client socket factory
  - of
```
static ClientSocketFactory of(SocketFactory socketFactory,
                              InetAddress address,
                              int port)
```
    Creates a new default implementation of the factory which uses the provided socket factory to create TCP connections and new DatagramSocket() for UDP sockets.
    
    Parameters:
    
    socketFactory - the socket factory used for TCP connections, if null the default socket factory will be used
    
    address - the address to bind to
    
    port - the port to bind to
    
    Returns:
    
    the client socket factory
