I'd like to use Inter-process communication with gRPC (which is based on unix socket).

From AF_UNIX comes to Windows :

Beginning in Insider Build 17063, you’ll be able to use the unix socket (AF_UNIX) address family on Windows to communicate between Win32 processes

This seems to address only windows 10/11

I was unable to find documentation which windows server versions will support unix socket. Does windows server 2016/2019 support unix socket / Is there any documentation about this?

Edit: Based on the answer from Seva Alekseyev, i found the build version numbers from microsoft for windows servers enter image description here

Go by build numbers. The first version with build number over 17000 is Windows Server 2019. Windows Server 2016 is 14000.
