The lowest level is a raw msg that works with the asynch io frameworks (NIO, APR, ...), another layer is the payload format, and another layer is marshalling/unmarshalling to objects. One needs to be able to plugin both the raw msg handling and payload format so that complete wire specifications like ampq and iiop (we talked about this long ago) can be handled.
