Are they simple commands and responses (as in HTTP)? Is there a state-machine (as in SMTP)? Or is the data-transfer full-duplex without a protocol? Are the data-flows extremely large? Exactly what are your performance requirements? Do you have one parent and one child? Or one parent and a great many children? ------ art_26674_14022383.1192176603776--
