Following the cookbook in ``4.2BSD IPC Primer'' I have managed to make a
machine-macine connection between two programs.  All things considered it
was easier than I expected, just a mornings work.

Anyway I wondered if anyone could tell me  more about the bind call.
For ipc in the Unix domain it seems that both parties need a bind
following socket creation, but when ipc is in the internet domain only
the server needs a bind.  Why??

Ques 2. When you use the internet domain, but client and server are on
the same machine, does your data go though the loop back connection? Is this
the reason for the loop back connection.

Just thought I'd ask.
