             Summary: Unix Domain Socket Listener to Undertow
                 Key: WFLY-5257
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-5257
             Project: WildFly
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: IO
         Environment: Unix/Linux
            Reporter: Marcio Ricardo Hatzlhoffer Correia
            Assignee: Jason Greene


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.
