[LAD] pipes or network?

Hello,

I wonder what is the best way to connect applications on the same
computer. Usually I use network and localhost plus custom protocols or
OSC to let them communicate but wonder if pipes are more efficient. The
data to be exchanged is usually control rate, not audio nor video streams.

So what are the pros and cons of pipes versus network?

Cheers,

Malte
