Like ‘Pipe’ is used to create pipes and sockets is created using   ‘socket’   system call. The socket provides bidirectional   FIFO   Communication facility over the network. A socket connecting to the network is created at each end of the communication. Each socket has a specific address. This address is composed of an IP address and a port number. Socket are generally employed in client server applications. The server creates a socket, attaches it to a network port addresses then waits for the client to contact it.

Some examples are   domain name system (DNS) ,   dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) ,   voice over internet protocol (VoIP) , etc. As defined by Network Functions Virtualization (NFV)  ETSI  Industry Specification Group (ISG) in the  Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV); Terminology for Main Concepts in NFV , a network service is a composition of  network functions  and defined by its functional and behavioral specification.
