For documentation for example look at the ssh man page at https://man.openbsd.org/ssh. The description of the -L and -R options.

We support the IP local/remote port forwarding in full - both on server and client. As far as _Unix_ sockets are concerned, there is no available Java library that I am aware of that provides this service since it involves *native* code. If you can recommend a good framework for it then we can think about this issue. However, since the feature is not in great demand (thus marked it as _Minor_), you might want to consider adding such support yourself (see _sshd-contrib_ package) - with some help from us. It can be a good exercise in using SSHD library as well as a welcome contribution. If it does become very popular we may consider adding support for it - again, depending on the availability of some 3rd party library that can provide this kind of support.

> Would be nice if MINA SSHD also supports forwarding sockets, not only ports.
>  Currently you can only forward from port to port, but SSH now can do from port to socket, from socket to port, from port to port and from port to socket.
