> Support Unix domain socket connections in libprocess
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MESOS-5900
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5900
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: libprocess
> Reporter: Neil Conway
> Assignee: Benjamin Hindman
> Labels: mesosphere
>
> We should consider allowing two programs on the same host using libprocess to
> communicate via Unix domain sockets rather than TCP. This has a few
> advantages:
> * Security: remote hosts cannot connect to the Unix socket. Domain sockets
> also offer additional support for
> [authentication|https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora_Security_Team/1/html/Defensive_Coding/sect-Defensive_Coding-Authentication-UNIX_Domain.html].
> * Performance: domain sockets are marginally faster than localhost TCP.
