22.SH DESCRIPTION
23The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers total address
24transparency between processes which allows applications in a clustered computer
25environment to communicate quickly and reliably with each other, regardless of
26their location within the cluster.
27
28TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The first open
29source version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson released its first
30Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the mainline Linux kernel in 2006
31and is now widely used both within and outside of Ericsson.
