Description

It would be nice if UNIX Sockets were supported as a transport medium, this allows creating safer, easier to manage and more performant IPC client/server communication via MQTT on *nix systems.

I have not looked at the code yet but the fact that the library is largely based on Asio should allow for a simple implementation, correct me if I'm wrong.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the MQTT5 client’s transport entry points and reading the Boost.Asio-based implementation. Determine the integration and platform constraints for Unix-domain sockets, then confirm that MQTT client/server IPC works through this transport on *nix systems.
