What is "Winsock Multi-Socket?"

What exactly is that? What exactly is a socket?

Anyone with answers, please reply, thanks!
 
Winsock is the windows API(application programming interface) which provides access to network services such as TCP(TCP/IP) and UDP. Basically it allows you to make programs which can work over these protocols which are used over the internet.
