Depends on what type of data and the constraints.
Maybe OSC? MIDI? Ableton Link? JACK transport? LV2 Atoms? TCP sockets?
MPEG media Transport? copper wire?


Plugin hosts like Carla (

can do some things to make it possible to use different plugin types
together to some degree, if that is what you are looking for.
