Hi, all<br />
<br />
I'd like to know the differences between the internet domain socket(AF_INET) and the unix domain socket(AF_UNIX) on the same host.<br />
I've tested with a client that sends 2,560,000 1K sized packets on HP/UX 10.20. I think using unix domain socket is faster, but rather it is slower.<br />
Anyone knows why? And if so, is it system-dependent?<br />

Internet vs. UNIX domain socket

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
