VirtualConnectionClient | Wraps an underlying physical read/write stream (e.g., named pipes, domain sockets, or TCP sockets) and exposes an API for making 'virtual connections', which act as independent read/write streams. Traffic over these virtual connections is multiplexed over the underlying physical stream. This is useful for fast stream-based inter-process communication because it avoids the overhead of opening a new physical connection each time a new communication channel is needed. |
