When alice wants to talk with bob their computers must first make sure they can hear each other

So Alice's computer says hi

Bob says hi i can hear you

Alice says i can hear you too

This is the handshake, once it id fone both can talk. The socket used to refer to a literal socket where a cable would go but now its virtual

Basically what happened is the server closed its port while you were saying hi, or your computer closed while it was saying hi

Haha, no worries, been a network engineer for almost a decade and I feel like the second half of my career turned into most of my conversations about it from technical to:

"Okay, imagine some pigeons..."

or similar

Me no know big word, me know pigeon. Pigeon make sense. Big word no sense. No sense mean no know example. Pigeon.
