/dev/fanout

Kernel based publish-subscribe IPC. Publish-subscribe topics are created as device nodes, which means the security model is the same as that of a filesystem. Since the IPC is kernel based, you do not need to create a daemon (eg dbus-daemon) to set up publish-subscribe topics. Also, fanout is twice as efficient; using N syscalls for N subscribers compared to 2*N syscalls for a TCP based publish-subscribe system.
