Hi Florian,

It took me some time to get over the fact that Protobuf is just a
payload encoding protocol: no less, but no more. You can think of it as
OSI layer 6 (presentation).
Everything else, including reliable (or unreliable) delivery (layer 4),
message routing (layer 3), or even the wire protocol are separate concerns.

You may want to look into existing message transport solutions such as
ZMQ if the situation is more complicated than point to point stateless
communication.
