streams to a single client, multiple simultaneous users)
- Shared-account security issues
- Performance not acceptable to some of our users
- X-Midas IPC (Inter-Process Communication) Option Tree
- TCP-Based, authored initially by John Kralles
- No relation to the POSIX IPC library.

- Delivery guaranteed by TCP
- Cons:
