[Steven McCoy]

Learn something new everyday, another Linux specific interesting transport:

AF_BUS is a message oriented inter process communication system.

The principle features are:

 - Reliable datagram based communication (all sockets are of type
   SOCK_SEQPACKET)

 - Multicast message delivery (one to many, unicast as a subset)

 - Strict ordering (messages are delivered to every client in the same order)

 - Ability to pass file descriptors

 - Ability to pass credentials
