Issue type

[x] Feature request
[ ] Bug report
[ ] Documentation

Environment

  • Python version: 2.7.5

  • NetBox version: 2.2.8

    Description:
    * When you assign service to device it is only supports TCP/UDP sockets, but on *nix environment there are already exists unix sockets. Can add please unix socket support for new service, for example if I choose UNIX socket it'd also allow me to document path to unix socket file, for example: service => php-fpm => unix socket => /var/run/php5-fpm.sock

Thanks beforehand.

NetBox is only intended to manage network resources. The advantage of the service model in NetBox is that it allows associating a network-enabled service with one or more IP addresses. Since sockets are only locally-reachable, defining them would be out of scope for NetBox.
