All Implemented Interfaces:

SocketOptions
```
public abstract class SocketImpl
extends Object
implements SocketOptions
```
The abstract class SocketImpl is a common superclass of all classes that actually implement sockets. It is used to create both client and server sockets.
A "plain" socket implements these methods exactly as described, without attempting to go through a firewall or proxy.

  - setPerformancePreferences
```

                                         int bandwidth)
```
    Sets performance preferences for this socket.
    Sockets use the TCP/IP protocol by default. Some implementations may offer alternative protocols which have different performance characteristics than TCP/IP. This method allows the application to express its own preferences as to how these tradeoffs should be made when the implementation chooses from the available protocols.
    Performance preferences are described by three integers whose values indicate the relative importance of short connection time, low latency, and high bandwidth. The absolute values of the integers are irrelevant; in order to choose a protocol the values are simply compared, with larger values indicating stronger preferences. Negative values represent a lower priority than positive values. If the application prefers short connection time over both low latency and high bandwidth, for example, then it could invoke this method with the values (1, 0, 0). If the application prefers high bandwidth above low latency, and low latency above short connection time, then it could invoke this method with the values (0, 1, 2). By default, this method does nothing, unless it is overridden in a a sub-class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    connectionTime - An int expressing the relative importance of a short connection time
    
    latency - An int expressing the relative importance of low latency
    
    bandwidth - An int expressing the relative importance of high bandwidth
