How does kronosnet relate to/compare with Transparent Inter Process Communication (TIPC)

Hello list, sometimes, usually when surfing semi-randomly, I get to know about things that either resemble deja vu to me, or make me feel that I must have lived in an utter ignorance/tunnel so far. Now, both thing combined: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparent_Inter-process_Communication Especially now that I checked the kernel module and userspace utility lurk on my Linux machine without ever being asked :-) $ { eval modinfo\ {-F\ description\ ,-F\ version\ ,-F\ license\ }tipc\; echo; tipc -h; } Naturally, I am curious how much of an overlap is there, wether there have been any comparisons/benchmarks conducted, all the these sort of things incl. whether the was an a priori knowledge, perhaps inspirational, about this other project. Kronosnet looks to me more on the pragmatically usable and simple side, buying also better portability and avoiding complexities (I take the plugins more like a "look what we can offload from your application layer" demonstration, yet encryption/auth/integrity protection makes a great deal of sense there) beyond UDP (which fully suffices when combined with corosync), something that TIPC covers as well while providing a lot of other abstractions incl. peer discovery, bells and unicorns (which might be heavy overkill for that use case). Any inputs welcome. -- Jan (Poki)
