Berkeley description: The support for the socket type has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists.

WinSock description: Similar to Berkeley. The WinSock description for this error is "the specified socket type is not supported in this address family," which qualifies the error condition a bit more than the Berkeley explanation does.
