pipes ?

Not the same. Named pipes uses (to the best of my knowledge) NetBios, and shared memory uses shared
areas in the memory of the machine (meaning it only work locally - not over the network).

Books Online doesn't have much to say about shared memory, but here's on e quote:

"Shared memory Net-Library communications are inherently secure without the need for encryption. The
shared memory Net-Library never participates in inter-computer communications. The area of memory
shared between the application process and the database engine process cannot be accessed from any
other Windows process."

Also, there's a drawing at:
