M3-IPC

M3-IPC transparently allows communication between processes of several isolated and distributed Virtual Operating Systems (VOS) which share the same cluster. Its semantics mimics the communication facilities used by a multi-server OS but within the Linux kernel, and extends IPC to processes located on different hosts. Its main features such as IPC confinement, message redirection on process replication or process migration, and location transparency facilitate the development of complex distributed software which could take advantage of them (through simple APIs and user-defined transport protocols).
