  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.
