Now THAT is why I love to post here. I am not a software guy and its this kind of input that helps us grow.

Thanks [mention:e8d91dc4cf71455ca44e07bd4987c90a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

I would highly encourage you to have a look at Google Protocol Buffers. I believe this would help to structure messages just like what you suggest with a Modbus-like protocol. Also this would allow to keep the footprint minimal since Protobuf does efficient encoding of string, short integers, etc.

I find the solution perfect for notifications, and to broadcast information.

Once it has to act as a more direct remote procedure call mechanism, it may not be the best option.

Are you developing a mechanism to structure the data in the payload?
