Distributed Computing, M. L. Liu Interprocess Communications Mei-Ling L. Liu IPC – unicast and multicast In distributed computing, two or more processes engage in IPC in a protocol agreed upon by the processes. A process may be a sender at some points during a protocol, a receiver at other points. When communication is from one process to a single other process, the IPC is said to be a unicast. When communication is from one process to a group of processes, the IPC is said to be a multicast, a topic that we will explore in a later chapter.  Unicast vs. Multicast Interprocess Communicati
