Networking Enhancements

The JDK 1.1 release made several enhancements to the networking package, java.net: Support was added for selected BSD-style socket options; Socket and ServerSocket are now non-final, extendable classes; new subclasses of SocketException have been added for finer granularity in reporting and handling network errors; and support was added for multicasting.

The JDK 1.1 release also includes general performance improvements and bug fixes.
