That's not true.  Unix sockets are fundamentally different and do not
use TCP/IP at all.  They have their own namespace (in the Unix
filesystem) and go through their own delivery path in the kernel, not
through the TCP/IP stack, so they're often faster.

But, they only work on a single machine.  :)
