I can't say for sure what he meant there, since year 2010 was like ages ago, and a lot of stuff happened.
But it's probably about passing file descriptors from master server to a child process. Only one process can listen on a port at any given time, so master does it. But once it accepts a connection, it sends file descriptor (everything is a file, remember?) to a child process which reads data and answers on it directly.
Communication between node instances is probably just a sign of overengineering.

--Thanks for sharing your views . Do you know what Ryan means by Server File Descriptors?Also , about Strongloop, you mentioned about communication between the node instances - why would this be necessary - cant figure out a use case .On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 6:28 PM, Luke Arduini <[email protected]> wrote:The "experimental" stability index means almost nothing. It's fine. Plenty of people use it in production.

I think while cluster is still marked experimental, it's built on top of child_process which is marked as Stable.Most people go with cluster. It works well and is extremely reliable in my experience. As long as you're aware of the gotchas with graceful restarts.Matt.--
