1. A system comprising:

  • at least one processor;

    memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to implement a symmetric bridge component partially in a user mode of the system and partially in a kernel mode of the system, wherein the symmetric bridge component is configured to cause the system to;

    open a communications port by causing a first bridge component, of the symmetric bridge component, to activate a function to initialize the communications port in one of the kernel mode or the user mode;

    set the communications port to a connected state to create an opened and connected communications port in response to a second bridge component, of the symmetric bridge component, activating the function in the other of the kernel mode or the user mode;

    send a message containing data via the opened and connected communications port, the data originating from a first endpoint component executable in one of the kernel mode or the user mode; and

    receive the data at a second endpoint component executable in the other of the kernel mode or the user mode.
