When covering TCP and UDP sockets, we use "remote IP addr" and "dest. IP addr" on the sender side respectively, to refer to the target IP address. Why does one call it the remote process while the other calls it the destination process?
Thank you in advance.
I should have called it "remote process" in both cases.
When a local process sends something to a remote process, the remote process is the "destination process."
When a local process receives something from a remote process, then the local process is the "destination process."
Calling the process that runs on the other computer the "remote process" is clearer and avoids confusion.
Let me know if anything is still unclear.
No, that makes it clear. Thank you!
