Right, I get that's what you meant, it doesn't seem to really change much versus NFS, or DCOM, or whatever. So it's unclear what benefit is being provided by 9p here.
Also upon further research I am not sure what you mean by this is the only option, plan9 seems to suggest use of channels for other types of IPC interfaces, which seem to not be the same as 9p and are not necessarily network serializable. (Or are they?)
