DESCRIPTION
The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers
total address transparency between processes which allows applications
in a clustered computer environment to communicate quickly and reliably
with each other, regardless of their location within the cluster.
TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The
first open source version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson
released its first Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the
mainline Linux kernel in 2006 and is now widely used both within and
outside of Ericsson.
