But, as we know, The Linux network component creates
two special purpose sockets for use by the AF_INET
protocol family. The tcp socket is used to send resets
when a TCP packet is rejected, since there may be no
local socket corresponding to the packet. The icmp
socket is used to send ICMP messages.

Then, Why did you say that ping replies (ICMP echo
replies) were not associated with a socket? 
Is there any difference between the special purpose
socket and the socket you mentioned above?

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Park Lee
