Yep -- indeed, he mentions that the way this is handled by modern IP was one of the inspirations for the design.
But this is focused more at the application-logic layer: it is very common to have this sort of problem between components that aren't connected by an IP connection. Indeed, it's quite common even between two threads of the same program. (And it's *extremely* common between Actors, which is why Typesafe wound up driving the project.)
