Because of all of this, UDP/IP multicast wasn't even considered as an option. We might be wrong in some/all of those, so could you please comment on them to check if that's so?
You guys seem to want something that isn't AF_UNIX, ordering guarentees and whatnot, it really has no place in these protocols. You've designed a userlevel subsystem with requirements that no existing socket layer can give, and you just figured you'd work that out later. I think you rather should have reconsidered these premises and designed something that could handle reality which is AF_UNIX can't do multicast and nobody guarentees those strange ordering requirements you seem to have.
