Transport Bridge to Cross the Boundary of Shared Memory

Access to a shared memory transport is limited to processes running on the computer that hosts the transport’s shared memory segment. To escape this natural boundary, you can arrange two transport bridges in series.

The following diagram depicts such an arrangement, connecting shared memory transports on separate host computers.

One FTL server must provide a transport bridge on the computer that hosts the shared memory segment of T1, while another FTL server must provide a transport bridge on the computer that hosts the shared memory segment of T4.
