## Uses of Class
java.net.ServerSocket

- Packages that use ServerSocket
  Package | Description
  --- | ---
  java.nio.channels | Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
  java.rmi.server | Provides classes and interfaces for supporting the server side of RMI.
  javax.net | Provides classes for networking applications.
  javax.net.ssl | Provides classes for the secure socket package.
  javax.rmi.ssl | Provides implementations of `RMIClientSocketFactory` and `RMIServerSocketFactory` over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
