Advanced Windows Debugging by M. Hewardt and D. Pravat:

LPC protocol was built with debugging in mind (p. 382)

LPC communication steps: NtCreatePort (s) -> NtListenPort (s) -> NtConnectPort (c) -> NtAcceptConnectPort (s) -> NtCompleteConnectPort (s) -> NtRequestWaitReplyPort (c) -> NtReplyWaitReceivePort (s) (pp. 383 - 384) - Actually LPC message ID is stored in _ETHREAD not in _KTHREAD, for example:+0×3f0 LpcReplyMessageId : 0xd50b74d

!lpc thread WinDbg command to show all LPC activity (pp. 386 - 387)
