I am new to Boost. I was looking for socket classes that are a component of Boost. Somehow, I couldn't find any. Are there "boost sockets"?

ASIO has been accepted into Boost, but has not yet made it into the official distribution. Until 1.35, you'll need to get it from http://asio.sf.net/

It would have been nice though if the name had been changed to something like Boost.Net or Boost.Sockets. It's no wonder that someone looking for network and sockets support doesn't find Boost.Asio.

I doubt http://boost.org/libs/libraries.htm won't mention network or sockets once Asio is included.
