TWSocket component is implementing the TCP protocol described in RFC 793 and the UDP protocol described in RFC 768. TWSocket is used in almost every other ICS component.
TWSocket component can be used as client as well as a Server socket (listening). For use as a TCP server however TWSocketServer is encouraged because it provides advanced features.

AllSent | Boolean indicating if all data in internal buffer has been sent. | |
BufSize | Size in bytes for dynamic send buffer calls. | |

DnsResult | Typically called in OnDnsLookupDone. The IP address of the remote host given as an argument to DnsLookup. | |
DnsResultList | Similar to DnsResult but a TStringList containing the multiple IPs of the host, if appropriate. | |
Handle | Handle for the underlying hidden window. | |
HSocket | Winsock handle for underlying socket. | |
IcsLogger | Linked component to log debug messages. | |
LastError | The last error occurred during socket operation. | |
LineEcho | Echo all received characters back to transmitter. | |

ReuseAddr | Should the compnent try to reuse an address. | |
SendFlags | How to send data. | |
SocketErrs | How socket error messages should be presented as type TSocketErrs, wsErrTech or wsErrFriendly. | |
SocketFamily | SocketFamily determines whether connections can use IPv4, IPv6 addresses or both, if both are available. | |
SocksAuthentication | Select socks server authentication mode. | |
SocksLevel | Select socks server protocol level. | |
SocksPassword | Password for socks server authentication. | |
SocksPort | Port number for socks server. | |
SocksServer | IP or hostname for socks server. | |
SocksUsercode | Usercode for socks server authentication. | |
