A socket is nothing but an interface between application layer(managed by JVM) and transport layer(TCP). 127.0.0.1 is the default IP of server for internal use. So you still need TCP/IP for the communication.

Hope this helps,

In Linux  Does JVM use the TCP/IP stack when talking through 127.0.0.1 to

This is over my head but a developer needs the answer so don't flame if I am
way off.

Ok so does it go like this JVM > socket > TCP/IP > 127.0.0.1 > TCP/IP > socket > JVM
or this
JVM > socket > 127.0.0.1 > socket > JVM


If it does is there a way not to use the full TCP/IP stack in Linux.
I have been told that windows does not it talks directly to the other JVM
socket.
