What is the protocol parameter in winsock's socket function for?

I think the documentation for socket (which can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740506(VS.85).aspx ) is pretty clear on what the value is for and why passing 0 is fine if you don't care.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
