Quest: Sockets in SYSVR3

BSD4.2 embeds the socket structure within a
file table entry. SYS V does not. Where is it
located? Are sockets written as a library
routines talking to a device driver where the
socket information is kept?  When a process forks,
how do the sockets get dup'd?

Not sure if any of this is proprietary.
