Larry used file redirection for his example, but it can be piped to
processes giving you the ram to ram style connection you want.

(untested and Larry sounds like he's made more use of nc than I have)

client1:  generate_complex_numbers | nc server 1234
client2: nc -l -d 1235 | process_fft_results
server: nc -l -d 1234 | fft_processing | nc client 1235

All of the network handling is in nc.  Your code simply reads and writes
streams of data using stdin and stdout.  The flow is: 
        complex numbers to server_port 1234 to fft_processing to
        client_port 1235 to process_fft_results
