He is probably talking about this feature of Bash from "man bash":
Bash handles several filenames specially when they are used in redirec- tions, as described in the following table: [...] /dev/tcp/host/port If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts to open a TCP connection to the corresponding socket. /dev/udp/host/port If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts to open a UDP connection to the corresponding socket.
