Why it is easily to exchange structs (memory images) between C programms
over TCP/IP?

This is only true on the same host and the same alignment and type
representation and !! no pointers a member of the struct. 
At all other cases it coud be very difficult to interchange complex types
(structs). It is better to use RPC on C, may be extended to CORBA on C++.
