Flipcall is a (conceptually) simple local-only RPC mechanism. Compared to unet, Flipcall does not support passing FDs (support for which will be provided out of band by another package), requires users to establish connections manually, and requires user management of concurrency since each connected Endpoint pair supports only a single RPC at a time; however, it improves performance by using shared memory for data (reducing memory copies) and using futexes for control signaling (which is much cheaper than sendto/recvfrom/sendmsg/recvmsg).
