Abstract

A solution for managing interprocess communication is provided. A connection request that identifies another process is received from a first process on a socket. The invention determines if the identified process has a second socket that can be used without transmitting data outside a computing device. If so, then the two sockets are linked, and an in-memory communication session can be managed to implement the interprocess communication. In this manner, two processes executing on the same computing device, each of which supports network communications using sockets, can have in-memory interprocess communication without any knowledge of where the other process is executing or any customization.
