Process Transport (PROC)

Endpoints within a single program process can communicate using a process (PROC) transport. Process transports are peer-to-peer transports that communicate at high speeds and exhibit very low latency.

Process transports are an excellent strategy for fast communication among threads within a process.

Process transport definitions are inherently unitary.

Process transports cannot participate in transport bridges.

Administrators arrange process transports only when program developers request it.

For best performance, do not bind an endpoint to both a process transport and a slower transport, as the slower transport limits the performance of the process transport. (See Multiple Transports and Serial Communications.)
