As for LTP the tool Richard is working on is a daemon that runs on the
SUT[1], will be quite possibly started during the boot and will listen
on pre-defined transport channels, e.g. TCP, serial, bluetooth, etc. The
protocol itself should be transport agnostic and should work over
anything that can transport bytes. But that is something that is under
development at the moment.
