/**
* In-VM pipe support which removes the overhead of local loopback communication.
*
* What is 'in-VM pipe'?
*
* In-VM pipe is a direct event forwarding mechanism between two
* ProtocolHandlers in the
* same Java Virtual Machine. Using in-VM pipe, you can remove the overhead
* of encoding and decoding which is caused uselessly by local loopback
* network communication. Here are some useful situations possible:
*
* - SMTP server and SPAM filtering server,
* - web server and Servlet/JSP container.
*
*
* Please refer to Tennis example.
