Inter Process Communication table

The ipc_boot process uses the ipc_info file as reference table for the communication. Any process that requires the service of another process will search the service based on the server name in the ipc_info file. The executable specified will be started and communication set up according to the specified protocol.

Note: The ipc_info file does not indicate if the requested server must be started on the local or a remote system. The requesting process must identify that system.
