[Qt-interest] Linux Interprocess communication for GUI to connect to a service ?

[Ed Sutton]

Is QtDBus the best choice?

My application is a gigabit packet analyzer tool.  I started out with an API that communicates with the Qt GUI using boost signals and slots.  The analyzer sends periodic status updates and event signals to the GUI for various packet error conditions.  The API and GUI run in the same process.  I wish to evolve this to a headless daemon service and allow a GUI to be launched that communicates and displays status of the packet analyzer tool.

Any feedback on experience with Linux interprocess communications and especially performance aspects are appreciated.
