you can use a variety of 'shared' information
channels to communicate between guests (and
optionally between guest and host):
- network (requires service on reachable IP(s))
- unix sockets (requires shared filesystem or namespace)
- pipe/fifo/file (requires shared filesystem)
- shared memory (requires shared namespace)
- specific kernel interfaces

be no problem at all ...
