I've been having wild success with UNIX sockets (AF_UNIX) since they were added a while back, both from the security and performance perspectives.
Now I'm wishing I had them available on Windows - mainly for the IT/security enhancement.
I've been playing around with UNIX sockets on Windows to try them out, and with the couple of caveats, like no datagrams or socket pair, they seem to work as expected. Since Microsoft is using them for WSL interop, I'm assuming they're will maintained and supported.
If you think they could be added to Mosquitto, I'd start adding support to the Paho C, C++, and Rust clients.
Thanks!
