I am looking for asynchronous communication on Linux between 2 processes running on different machines. POSIX message queues seem a good solution for async part of it. It however seems like they are machine specific. In other words, if I create a message queue one machine A, then it is visible only on machine A. So IPC between 2 processes running on 2 different machines cannot really use POSIX message queues. Is my understanding correct? Are POSIX message queues specific to machines?

Yes, they're machine specific, just like all other IPC methods. The only inter-machine communications is network sockets. – Barmar Jan 23 '15 at 02:04
