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.
