ECONNRESET specifically means the connection was closed by the server. `ESoup` (Error Socket) indicates that a socket error occurred, but the exact nature of the error is less defined. `EWRONGADDR` typically indicates an issue with the IP address or port being used, while `ENETUNREACH` suggests a network unreachable error. `ECONNRESET` pinpoints a deliberate disconnection; the others often point to problems with the connection setup or the network itself.
