[sldev] [Need Help] Anyone with experience on messaging system?

[Dzonatas Sol]

Sounds like something that a few want me to do to MonoVida: 
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Alternate_viewers#MonoVida_Studio

This would be the requests in a style of parallel processes as needed by 
Voice and Gesture Recognition: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-9

What I'm not sure about below is if the 'parallel messages' are being 
routed through a single process or if each process tries to establish 
it's own TCP/UDP port directly to the server.

What I do know is that multiple processes shouldn't try to share a 
single connectionless UDP port. It is possible, yet each process would 
need be aware of others processes that try to share the port in order to 
work effectively. For example, if one process empties the input queue 
even for messages that aren't meant for that process, then it is 
possible the other processes won't receive that message. If there are 
many processes that need to share a single connectionless port, then a 
local 'router' process would need to be added in order to broadcast that 
message. Normally, the message isn't in broadcast mode when it is 
received from a remote host, and especially if it has hopped across a 
normal network router.

You didn't hear this next thing from me (if you abuse it): This is why 
it possible to spam all hosts (all loopback processes) on the local lan 
with 'ping 127.0.0.1' when the local loopback device is off, but it 
won't spam beyond the router to a different network.
