Using Internet Sockets instead of Unix sockets

@cristobalmedinalopez I would like to work on this. Could you explain in detail?

Hi @abhay44,

Currently, we use Unix domain sockets to communicate between processes in the same host system. So, our simulator uses files as "address" instead of a (host, port) pair. If we turn AF_UNIX into AF_INET the translation between the simulator and the production code would be almost the same. We could apply all changes tested in the simulator to the production code in a faster way.

Thanks for your interest and happy holidays!

@sachinsngh165 has this issue assigned now as a part of his participation in the GSoC 2018 program. Good luck!
