From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_socket : The socket is primarily a concept used in the Transport Layer of the Internet model.
The socket layer phrase is merely a well-known word combination, and is not related to the “layers” in OSI model sense.
It is intended to be understood by people who has little to do with all the OSI model theory.
