Socket will regist a global name (qnx/socket), which means it would service any client (include remote ones). Socket -L only regist local name. To really under stand, you need 2 machine on FLEET, one run Socket (and then Socket -L), one don’t. On the node does not have a Socket running, try “ifconfig -a”, you would be supprised :slight_smile:

Socklet is “Socket light”, it have all the tcpip stuff, but does not have NFS support (as Socket).
