SocketImpl	The abstract class SocketImpl is a common superclass of all classes that actually implement sockets.
SocketPermission	This class represents access to a network via sockets.
URI	Represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) reference.
URL	Class URL represents a Uniform Resource Locator, a pointer to a "resource" on the World Wide Web.
URLClassLoader	This class loader is used to load classes and resources from a search path of URLs referring to both JAR files and directories.
