Abstract
A method at one or more computers having memory and one or more processors includes detecting establishment of a connection between a first process and a second process; determining whether an augmented communications service is available for the connection between the first process and second process; in accordance with a determination that the augmented communications service is available, configuring the connection between the first process and the second process to make use of the augmented communications service with no modification to the executable codes of the first process and the second process; and in accordance with a determination that the augmented communications service is not available, configuring the connection between the first process and the second process to make use of a non-augmented communications service.
