Remote process communication

I need a program that will communicate over tci/ip with clones of itself running on remote machines. The requirements are as follows: - The program will act as both client and server. - It will transfer data that is gathered over IPC from other programs on the same machine. - The application level protocol is very simple and well documented an will be provided to the chosen coder. - The program should be configurable (trough a config file and command line options). - Optional authentication and SSL data tranfer should be supported. - The server part of the logic should log certain events. - The code should be architecture and OS independent (should be POSIX compatible). ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
