# Class type Netplex_types.socket_service

    class type socket_service = object .. end

    method name : string

The name of the `socket_service` is used to identify the service in the whole netplex process cluster. Names are hierarchical; name components are separated by dots (e.g. "company.product.service"). The prefix "netplex." is reserved for use by Netplex. The name "netplex.controller" refers to the service provided by the controller.

    method sockets : (string * Unix.file_descr array) list

A `socket_service` consists of a list of supported protocols which are identified by a name. Every protocol is available on a list of sockets (which may be bound to different addresses). The sockets corresponding to ``Container` addresses are missing here.
