ABSTRACT:
A method, computer program product, and data processing system for performing efficient communication between software entities residing in the same operating system using conventional network communications APIs are disclosed. According to a preferred embodiment, when a software entity (e.g., a process) attempts to communicate through a networking API, the operating system determines whether the other end of the communication refers to the same hardware node. If so, the operating system replaces the network protocol connection (socket connection) with a direct interprocess communication construct. The operating system provides additional code to simulate the appearance of an actual network (socket) connection at the API level while performing all actual I/O using the interprocess communication construct.
