Good point.
I suppose what I meant to say is you need to communicate between processes somehow. Shared memory is fast, but it's hard to communicate with it exclusively - message-based protocols are better suited for that, and most of them are implemented over TCP.
- lmm 4y agoA lot of standard protocols can run over a unix domain socket, if you're not at the level of implementing a shared memory communication protocol but want to cut some overhead for more or less free.
