  11 <p> The  <a href="../System.Net.Sockets/System.Net.Sockets.html">System.Net.Sockets</a> namespace provides a managed implementation of the Windows Sockets (Winsock) interface for developers who need to tightly control access to the network.</p>
  12 <p> The  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemNetSocketsTCPClientmemberstopic.asp">TCPClient</a>,  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemNetSocketsTCPListenermemberstopic.asp">TCPListener</a>, and  <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemNetSocketsUDPClientmemberstopic.asp">UDPClient</a> classes encapsulate the details of creating TCP and UDP connections to the Internet.</p>
