Silverlight and local sockets

Hi, For the last couple of days I've been trying to figure out how sockets can be used in silverlight. This thread has been helpful in finding resources but Im still trying to find out if it is possible to create 'local' sockets.
So could a silverlight application create a socket on the userside for the user to connect to using an iPhone for example? Or are sockets solely used for connecting back to the server?
Thanks
