I tried this search and did look closer but I only find TCP state diagrams and other non-related diagrams. :(

This is what happens when I write while my sinuses are trying to convince me that I am drunk :/ The more accurate version of what I said is "the BSD socket protocol is a direct reflection of the TCP state diagram; UDP and other socket types are hacked on top of it and can be a poor fit". Studying the TCP state diagram should make it clear why sockets work as they do, but all the rules go out the window if you're not doing TCP. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
