Monolithic Listening Model
In the conventional TCP/IP environment shown in Figure 3-2, you have the typical
monolithic listener configuration with just one instance of the listening process. It is
shown in a different processor than the TCP/IP process to illustrate the remote IPC
hop required in the conventional TCP/IP environment and also because TCP/IP often
runs in a different processor than the listening process for load distribution.
