Conclusion

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 and Windows 2000 security features—an advantage offered by no other networking technology described in this book. This chapter concludes Part I, our discussion of file system network programming using the Windows redirector. Part II discusses the Winsock technology that allows applications to communicate directly over a network transport protocol.
