如题 Socks 协议为什么叫 Socks ?只是好奇,wiki 并没有相关说明 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOCKS
比如 http 则是:Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

|  |      5lostberryzz      2021-03-18 15:20:31 +08:00 socks 是 sockets 的缩写 |

|      92kCS5c0b0ITXE5k2      2021-03-18 16:42:07 +08:00 @dangyuluo 毕竟美国二战后挖走大量的德国科学家. |

(Blue Coat Systems bought out Permeo Technologies.) 所以 NEC 和 Permeo 对于 SOCKS 的定义应该是可信的 |
