Communication between multiple processes on same device using TCP/IP suite

It is an established fact that the data transmission between two devices or processes is achieved via packets, according to the rules and regulations of TCP/IP protocol suite. The said transmission involves all the layers of TCP/IP protocol suite. The different processes involved in the transmission follow the same rule of the TCP / IP suite either on the same device or on different devices. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm with the help of which the data is being transmitted from one process to another process using the same file if both processes are on the same device. Our proposed algorithm uses only the two top layers, i.e., Application and Transport, of a TCP/IP protocol suite while, the rest of the layers, i.e., Network, Data Link and Physical, are not used. The data is transferred directly from the transport layer of one process to the transport layer of the other process. Our proposed algorithm saves a significant amount of computational power and other system resources that are consumed by the lower layers, i.e., Network, Data Link and Physical.
