This is very clever. Last time i ran benchmarks (several years ago), UNIX domain sockets were twice as fast as IP sockets so that's another reason to use them.

- easytiger 6y agoIsn't a TCP socket fastpathed on loopback ranges anyway?
- aszlig 6y agoThere was a patch[1] a few years ago, but apparently it didn't make it into mainline. At least looking in net/ipv4/tcp.c I haven't found any traces related to that. However, I could have sworn that I've seen a similar patch in recent years, but either my memories are serving me wrong or I simply can't find it anymore. Nevertheless, I didn't benchmark whether this is the case, nor was performance the main goal for writing ip2unix. So if performance is a concern, maybe benchmark with your specific workload? https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg210741.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg210741.html
- easytiger 6y agoInteresting. Thanks
