+Socket address format(s)
+------------------------
+
+Functions below which expect a network address, accept it in the format of
+`(ipv4_address, port)`, where `ipv4_address` is a string with dot-notation numeric
+IPv4 address, e.g. ``"8.8.8.8"``, and port is integer port number in the range
+1-65535. Note the domain names are not accepted as `ipv4_address`, they should be
+resolved first using ``socket.getaddrinfo()``.
