TIPC provides a framework for inter-process communication between federations of trusted peers that are cooperating as a unit. It was developed by Ericsson AB, as a means to provide for communications between Common Control Systems processes and Network Element peers in telephone switching systems, sometimes operating at arm's length on different line cards or mainframes. Delegation of responsibility in this way is one of the fundamental precepts of the Erlang programming system, also developed at Ericsson. TIPC represents a more generalized version of the same behavioral design pattern.
