.SH DESCRIPTION
The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers total address
transparency between processes which allows applications in a clustered computer
environment to communicate quickly and reliably with each other, regardless of
their location within the cluster.
TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The first open
source version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson released its first
Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the mainline Linux kernel in 2006
and is now widely used both within and outside of Ericsson.
