Abstract
A socket service may be used to link a peer socket to another peer socket. The peer socket is for communicating data to and from a client device and the other peer socket is for communicating data to and from another client device. If a socket opens and the corresponding peer socket is not yet open then the socket waits for the corresponding peer socket to open. When a client device requests a socket to be opened, the client device requests a particular client-defined function mapping to be associated with the socket. When the socket is opened, the endpoint specified in the client-defined function mapping is invoked. An identifier associated with the client device is sent to the endpoint. If the endpoint returns a socket identifier for another socket, then the socket service links the peer socket to the other peer socket, linking the client device to another client device.
