I tested it too (with an NFS v4.1 filesystem), and yes, mkfifo makes a

No reason why it shouldn’t work, provided the network protocol has support
for recognizing such special files.

(Haven't figured out how to increase ulimit -p yet, doesn't seem to want
to increase, even as root...)

<https://manpages.debian.org/7/pipe.7.en.html> mentions the
/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size configuration limit. It could be that ulimit -p
has no effect on Linux.
