The client and the app communicate through several shared-memory message-passing channels:

<abort/>
<suspend/>
<resume/>

<network_available/>

Sent all together, every 1 sec.

<heartbeat/>
<wss>...
<max_wss>...
<network_suspended/>
[ <sporadic_ca>... ]

<have_new_trickle_down/>

Not used

Sent together, every 1 sec or when boinc_report_app_status() called by app

<current_cpu_time>...
<checkpoint_cpu_time>...
<fraction_done> ...
[<other_pid>... ]
[<bytes_sent>...]
[<bytes_received>...]
[<sporadic_ac>...]

<have_new_trickle_up/>
