The TCP protocol is implemented in the kernel and can be send over

	the loopback adapter ("localhost") or a network card.
	The implementation uses sockets (see "man 2 socket").
The IPC protocol is implemented in the kernel and can send data within
	the computer. The implementation uses sockets (see "man 2 socket").
The BEQ protocol is implemented in user level only using shared memory.
	The implementation does not use sockets.

BEQ is (AFAIK) only a bit faster than IPC or TCP, but it does not show up
in the output of "netstat" or "netstat -a".
