+# Inter-process links (apps.interlink.*)
+
+The “interlink” transmitter and receiver apps allow for efficient exchange
+of packets between Snabb processes within the same process group (see
+[Multiprocess operation (core.worker)](#multiprocess-operation-core.worker)).
+
+    DIAGRAM: Transmitter and Receiver
+           +-------------+  +-------------+
+           |             |  |             |
+    input  |             |  |             |

+           +-------------+  +-------------+
+
+To make packets from an output port available to other processes, configure a
+transmitter app, and link the appropriate output port to its `input` port.
+
+```lua
+local Transmitter = require("apps.interlink.transmitter")
+
+config.app(c, "interlink", Transmitter)
+config.link(c, "myapp.output -> interlink.input")
+```
+
+Then, in the process that should receive the packets, configure a receiver app
+with the same name, and link its `output` port as suitable.
+
+```lua
+local Receiver = require("apps.interlink.receiver")
+
+config.app(c, "interlink", Receiver)
+config.link(c, "interlink.output -> otherapp.input")
+```
+
+Subsequently, packets transmitted to the transmitter’s `input` port will appear
+on the receiver’s `output` port.
+
+Alternatively, a name can be supplied as a configuration argument to be used
+instead of the app’s name:
+
+```lua
+config.app(c, "mylink", Receiver, "interlink")
+config.link(c, "mylink.output -> otherapp.input")
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+The configured app names denote globally unique queues within the process
+group. Alternativelyy, the receiver and transmitter apps can instead be passed
+a string that names the shared queue to which to attach to.
+
+Starting either the transmitter or receiver app attaches them to a shared
+packet queue visible to the process group under the name that was given to the
+app. When the queue identified by the name is unavailable, because it is
+already in use by a pair of processes within the group, configuration of the
+app network will block until the queue becomes available. Once the transmitter
+or receiver apps are stopped they detach from the queue.
+
+Only two processes (one receiver and one transmitter) can be attached to an
+interlink queue at the same time, but during the lifetime of the queue (e.g.,
+from when the first process attached to when the last process detaches) it can
+be shared by any number of receivers and transmitters. Meaning, either process
+attached to the queue can be restarted or replaced by another process without
+packet loss.
