Description

Resolution:
Answer: On UNIX platforms SmartSockets uses local domain sockets (AF_UNIX) for communication between
RTserver and RTclients running on the same host. The local domain sockets are faster than
AF_INET option for internets. On Windows platforms SmartSockets uses TCP loopback as the WinSock2 library does not have support
for local domain sockets.
