[ih] Interprocess Communication

[Steve Crocker]

https://www.walden-family.com/public/walden-cacm-1972-ipc.pdf is the CACM
version.  I believe it's the same as RFC 62, which was published in August
1970.

This was apparently discussed in

Abstract

A number of key decisions made in the design of the ARPA network over a
five-year period serve as the context for an analysis of the fundamental
properties and requirements of packet-switching networks and formulation of
the fundamental criteria for evaluating network performance. The decisions
described fall into the three major areas of network equipment design,
store-and-forward subnetwork system design, and source-to-destination
system design, and each decision is examined in detail.
