Thanks Dominic, That's the way I'm implementing the cross-process module.
One thing difference is, I'm using UDP datagram rather then TCP, because: 1. the service we are working on is lag-sensitive, but accuracy insensitive. 2. domain socket is slow on Xen, learned from using Redis. 3. data of each transmission is very small, < 100bytes. > Also, what kind of messages are they sending? message sent from clients are controlling command write in a custom binary protocol. the service we are building can be seen as to to host a good number of virtual rooms in several processes. And a few clients on different process can interact with each other in the same virtual room.
