kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module
This module implements the Kernel Connection Multiplexor. Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM) is a facility that provides a message based interface over TCP for generic application protocols. With KCM an application can efficiently send and receive application protocol messages over TCP using datagram sockets.
