This looks very intersting. I think there would be a general interest in most kinds of networking utilities...standard methods are really lacking in C++. I think the standard comittee would see favuorable to proposals related to networking. Your library seems fairly simple to use. I'm wondering though if the the macros can be avoided? I don't know how much code is hidden in them. but maybe a different approach vould be used so they disappeared entirely. As for performance, then I think the interface should be your first priority. (But if you happen to know why serialization with boost is so much slower, I think most of us would be interested to know that too :-) br -Thorsten
