It sounds like using UNIX sockets is a thing of the past. With that kind of performance, why would anyone use them?

If Linux is not the only target platform? Don't want to do the Linux version of 'if it works on Windows...".
Roger, are you saying that you would use a UNIX socket instead of an INET socket to enable compatibility with more/other platforms? That doesn't sound right - shouldn't it be the other way, i.e. use an INET socket to get more compability? After all, who would try to port a network application on to a platform with no TCP stack ... /Per Jessen, Zürich
