This is a socket based protocol for local communication on UNIX. This is implemented by the UNIX kernel and is also known as the AF_UNIX protocol
(TCP/IP is also implemented by the UNIX kernel and is known as the AF_INET protocol)

> BEQueath

This is a shared memory protocol implemented only by Oracle clients/servers. This is supposed to be slightly faster than IPC, because there are fewer kernel roundtrips.
But it does not show up in the usual nerworking tools like 'netstat'.
