Qrexec framework consists of a number of processes communicating with each Qrexec framework consists of a number of processes communicating with each
other using common IPC protocol (described in detail below). Components other using common IPC protocol (described in detail below). Components
residing in the same domain use pipes as the underlying transport medium, residing in the same domain (`qrexec-client-vm` to `qrexec-agent`, `qrexec-client` to `qrexec-daemon`) use pipes as the underlying transport medium,
while components in separate domains use vchan link. while components in separate domains (`qrexec-daemon` to `qrexec-agent`, data channel between `qrexec-agent`s) use vchan link.
