: I wasn't actually serious when saying "XML". If your data flow between nodes is relatively small, maybe, with high traffic even gigabit netlinks often get congested on large clusters, converting binary data into tagged text is just going to make it so much worse, not to mention the effort in parsing it. But enough with that, about the current task, I think a specific goal would help; something that would require two nodes pass messages back and forth several times, each time making different requests, for example. A truly general protocol is too tall a bill: look at HTTP, after all these years some servers or clients still choke at different bits received. A task v2 may be a good idea, too. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 02:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
