I am trying to set flag tcp_nodelay on a unix domain socket. Can we set it or does it even make sense to set tcp_nodelay for UNIX domain sockets, specifically on Linux?
please advise.
thanks

Unix domain sockets don’t use Nagle (and obviously don’t use TCP either). Also, the fact that it’s called
tcp_nodelayindicates it’s a TCP-only thing.
