We have found two main limitations in Berkeley Sockets API: (1) it has been designed to manage one stack per protocol family (2) there is not a protocol family supporting (fast) multicast for Inter Process Communication (among processes running on the same computer). The virtualsquare team proposes solutions for both problems: (1) the msocket call to support several stacks (implemented in lwipv6 and ipnet) (2) the IPN (inter process networking) protocol family. IPN can be used for many applications: midi, mpeg-ts dispatching, kernel based vde switches.
