Usually the "best" way depends on your specific circumstances.  Will
the two applications be running on the same machine?  If not, do the
two machines have a high speed network connection or some slow radio
modem type connection?  How much data are you sending and at what
rate?  Do you need really tight timing or can you get by with some
delays and sloppiness in the communication?
