Summary

This chapter introduced the named pipe networking technology, which provides a simple client/server data-communication architecture that reliably transmits data. The interface relies on the Windows redirector to transmit data over a network. A major benefit of named pipes is that it takes advantage of Windows NT platform security features, an advantage offered by no other networking technology described in this book.
