NPAPI doesn't restrict you; it's just native C++ code. That means you can use any IPC mechanism that you would used for any two processes. There won't end up being anything NPAPI-specific about what you end up with. (Given that, you might want to ask a new version of this question without mentioning Chrome or NPAPI, since you'll get more answers to a general question about IPC.)
