For packets less than 1024bytes theres very little difference. The 'talking to radius' part is usually not a latency bottleneck, its the SQL , the LDAP etc. alan On Mon, 2 May 2022, 15:09 William Tang, <galaxyking0419@gmail.com> wrote:
I dont' believe so. And my numbers are as good as yours. There is no reason to believe that's true. Unix domain sockets can achieve 66% latency reduction and 7x throughput, https://stackoverflow.com/a/29436429.
I agree with Bjorn here. There's no value to this, and many negatives. Are there any RFC documenting RADIUS over unix domain sockets? Are there any clients supporting this? Does your strongswan server support it? Whether freeradius should implement this is out of the scope of this discussion. I'm just checking if it supports it.

I can’t realize a use-case for that… but, if you don’t mind please

with us what you have in mind… I have a server running both strongswan VPN server and freeradius for authentication and accounting. Unix domain sockets would be more efficient for communication between processes on the same machine.
