---+ Transparent Inter-Process Communications (TIPC) Sockets.
TIPC provides a framework for inter-process communication between
federations of trusted peers that are cooperating as a unit. It was
developed by Ericsson AB, as a means to provide for communications
between Common Control Systems processes and Network Element peers in
telephone switching systems, sometimes operating at arm's length on
different line cards or mainframes. Delegation of responsibility in this
way is one of the fundamental precepts of the Erlang programming system,
also developed at Ericsson. TIPC represents a more generalized version
of the same behavioral design pattern.
