[ Old thread, maybe not what you are looking for, anyway... ]

I would look at Good Old RPC protocols like ONC RPC and CORBA. Regarding
network encoding, I would consider standardized encoding like ANS.1, XDR
or CORBA's IIOP. I'm always surprised how people are forgetting history
and re-invent the wheel.

Regarding ONC RPC, I think Gerd implemented a library, with additional
bell and whistle, in OCamlNet.

Best regards,
david
