| Hi, firstly, i am 
making the assumption that you are referring to using UDP as a IPC for the 
daemon, and i'm answering with that in mind. (i don't want to 
get into a debate into the various pros and cons of each IPC mechanisms. 
there are people more qualified for that..) when the daemon 
was first started, the sctp library only supported registering UDP callbacks 
with its event loop, and that was the easiest way forward to get things 
going. Using other form of IPC means finding a way to integrate them with the 
event loop of the sctp library. It was method that i was comfortable with and in 
truth, no REAL comparsion of the merits of each methods of IPC was done. 
that is of course not to say that a review may not be needed. (but i won't be 
doing that now as my concern now is mainly in maintaining the state integrity of 
the daemon) of course, 
proposed alternative (preferably in the form of source code) is most 
welcome. cheers wc
