Yes, processes and their sockets can be on different nodes and still
work. Processes can migrate whereas sockets cannot yet, so it's
important that they be able to work together remotely.

In the currently released SSI code, processes can do file operations
(read, write, poll, ioctl, etc.) on their remote sockets. I'm working on
allowing them to also do remote socket operations (sendmsg, recvmsg,
accept, etc.). This should be available in the next release after 0.6.5.

Hope this clarifies things a bit.
