Per Liden | c11ac3f | 2006-01-16 16:32:18 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 9 | The Transparent Inter Process Communication (TIPC) protocol is |
| 10 | specially designed for intra cluster communication. This protocol |
| 11 | originates from Ericsson where it has been used in carrier grade |
| 12 | cluster applications for many years. |
