Server sockets do not locate clients. Instead, they form passive "half connections" that listen for client requests. Server sockets associate a queue with their listening connections; the queue records client connection requests as they come in. When the server socket accepts a client connection request, it forms a new socket to connect to the client, so that the listening connection can remain open to accept other client requests.
