| al@17992 | 1 D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications. |

| al@17992 | 3 complexity. |

| al@17992 | 5 D-Bus supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing |
| al@17992 | 6 latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead; messages |
| al@17992 | 7 are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-Bus also supports a method |

| al@17992 | 9 system quite simple. |
