Named pipes can be used to listen to requests from other processes( similar to TCP IP ports). If the calling processes are aware of the name, they can send requests to this. Unnamed pipes cannot be used for this purpose.

Ordinary pipes are useful in situations where the communication needs to happen only between two specified process, known beforehand. Named pipes in such a scenario would involve too much of an overhead in such a scenario.
