I wonder what is the best way to connect applications
on the same
computer. Usually I use network and localhost plus custom protocols or
OSC to let them communicate but wonder if pipes are more efficient. The
data to be exchanged is usually control rate, not audio nor video streams.
So what are the pros and cons of pipes versus network?
While pipes are faster (which is not interesting for control data only)
osc+network makes it extendable. Maybe in the future one part of your app
will run on a different host. If you started with pipes you have to program a
whole new communication. With osc and network you just allow other addresses
than localhost...
