An InterProcessor Communication (IPC) Protocol network (100) includes at
least one IPC client (102) and an IPC server (108). The IPC protocol
allows for the IPC client (102) to register with the IPC server (108)
which will provide the means for the two to communicate freely without
any limitations on what software architectures, operating systems,
hardware, etc. each depend on. The IPC protocol in one embodiment of the
invention provides for dynamic IPC node configuration in a server based
IPC communication management framework.
