[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-5257) Unix Domain Socket Listener to Undertow

Unix Domain Socket Listener to Undertow --------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-5257 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5257 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Web (Undertow) Environment: Unix/Linux Reporter: Marcio Ricardo Hatzlhoffer Correia Assignee: Stuart Douglas Priority: Major For many cases, it's used an application like Apache or Nginx as a Reverse Proxy in front of Wildfly. As there is no option to use Unix Domain Socket, these applications use the TCP stack to redirect the connection to the Wildfly (Undertow) and it incurs a slight performance overhead. In the case of a Reverse Proxy configuration where your upstream server is on the same machine, you can get better performance by skipping the TCP/Network stack and using Unix Domain Sockets. A Unix Domain Socket is communication mechanism to do inter-process messaging within the operating system kernel, using the file system as the name space.
