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