This question is NOT for the difference between STREAM type and DATAGRAM type INTERNET sockets. I know that STREAM sockets use TCP, Datagram sockets use UDP and all the TCP,UDP stuff, packets arriving in order, ACK, NACK etc. I understand the importance of these over internet. Q1) When I create a UNIX domain socket which is a local socket, how would it matter if the socket is STREAM socket or DATA
