# Unix Transport > transport: **unix** — Unix domain sockets; same framing/ack semantics as TCP. **address syntax:** - `unix:/path/to/socket` (filesystem path) - `unix:@name` (Linux abstract namespace) **dial / serve:** - `unix::dial::(addr: SocketAddr) -> NetTx` - `unix::serve::(addr: SocketAddr).await -> (ChannelAddr, NetRx)` **notes:** - Abstract sockets (`@name`) are Linux-only; on other platforms they are mapped to filesystem paths. - Shares common framing/ack semantics with TCP and MetaTLS.
