TWSocket component is implementing the TCP protocol described in RFC [http://rfc.net/rfc793.html 793] and the UDP protocol described in RFC [http://rfc.net/rfc768.html 768]. TWSocket is used in almost every other ICS component.

TWSocket component can be used as [[Glossary#Client | client]] as well as a [[Glossary#Server | Server]] socket (listening). For use as a TCP server however [[TWSocketServer]] is encouraged because it provides advanced features.
