[ih] Interprocess Communication

[Jack Haverty]

MQTT has been around for a while.  I think it was originated at IBM.  
It's now widely used for communications between processes in various 
"Internet Of Things" scenarios.   E.g., my model railroad uses it, and 
my home automation system as well.   It is message-based rather than 
using a connection or circuit, can use formats such as JSON to organize 
the data, and runs over the Internet.

(I believe it was also published in the Communications of the ACM.) It was a generalization of interprocess communication within a single computer.  I believe that at the time his proposal was too radical for the ARPAnet Network Working Group to consider seriously, and so far as I know it has never been implemented.  That is my question: has that concept, or something close, been implemented in the Internet or elsewhere?
