Does JVM use the TCP/IP stack when talking through 127.0.0.1 to another JVM?
This is over my head but a developer needs the answer so don't flame if I am
way off.
I'm not expert either, but I deal with Java networking code nearly
every day. <disclaimer> Still, I could be wrong </disclaimer>
You might consider asking on the JUGlist:

yes, that is how it works.
If it does is there a way not to use the full TCP/IP stack in Linux.
I don't see how. The JVM relies on the underlying OS for these
functions.
I have been told that windows does not it talks directly to the other JVM
socket.
I have never heard of such a thing, but I doubt it. How would it know
which one to talk to? There could be multiple 'other' JVMs, all listening
on different ports. I have seen no indication of this behavior.
