BEQ used for remote connections

List,
i'm a bit confused when looked at the ps -eaf |grep BEQ in my AIX one of the connection was using BEQ protocol, but the session was zremote !!

(LOCAL=no)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)

my understanding of BEQ was that it makes use of unix pipes to connect, and is
used for local+dedicated connections !!

then i looked at the tnsnames.ora of the client... and found out that the port was
listed as 1525 (and the listener was NOT listening on that port)

conclusion....
if the client cannot connect to listed port...it uses BEQ to connect ?

Regards
