I'm not talking about redundancy and scalability of the transport
channel, but of my business stuff.

For information, my personal transfer rate should be minimal enough, so
I'm inclined to spare myself extra TCP or IPC sockets for the loopback
case; that wouldn't fix the multiple sender issue anyway.

That's interesting. Do you have any pointers to discussions about the
roots of this? All I could find was stuff related to the basics I
mentioned earlier.
