Summary

This chapter was all about the net package, TCP/IP, TCP, UDP, UNIX sockets, and WebSocket, which implement pretty low-level connections. TCP/IP is what governs the internet. Additionally, WebSocket is handy when we must transfer lots of data. Lastly, UNIX domain sockets are preferred when the data exchange between the server and its various clients takes place on the same machine. Go can help us create all kinds of concurrent servers and clients. We are now ready to begin developing and deploying our own services!
