The wire level protocol is very simple, it does not compare with AMQP (which I'm well aware of, being one of the original designers). You can check the 0MQ protocol (SPB) here: http://rfc.zeromq.org/.
Indeed very simple. Being BLOB-based it does not handle binary format differences (byte ordering, anyone?) between platforms. I would not therefore describe the whole solution as "high-level". A high-level solution - and the one that is reasonably portable - would need to be coupled/supplemented with serializer/deserializer, which actually already exists in Boost. In this context the integration with Boost would indeed make it an interesting exercise, except for the fact that the Boost serialization library is not very fast. My personal and humble opinion is that such a couple would fall out of your intended/typical benchmarks. How would you promote it then? Who would constitute the target audience?
