Hi,
   We are looking for suggestions for protocols to be used over a medium speed
serial communications channel (probably 1.5Mb/sec).  We have a requirement to
implement a unidirectional 'socket-like' interface between communicating
processes.  We would like to be able to route the data to unix hosts on a
standard LAN (FDDI or Ethernet).  We would build the 'router' hardware, but the
protocol would have to include IP-like addressing capability.

Our set-up is a little unusual:

o The return path from the unix systems is much slower than the data comming up.

o Most data will destined for the unix systems.

o The unix systems can 'broadcast' to the remote systems.

o There will be little peer-to-peer communication between the remote nodes.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Derek Mathieson...
