Thanks, Brian.  I go to this link, and get permission denied:
http://gsyc.escet.urjc.es/mailarchive/linux-streams/

Since this is my first possible use of LiS, I thought I'd check it out
first.  Mainly, I am concerned about getting stuck on the 2.6 kernel,
since GCOM is no longer supporting the effort (unless some other entity
has assumed ownership and maintenance).

Also, my previous experience was with SVr4 and Solaris (many years ago).
 In those environments, streams was a native concept.  However, in the
linux world, I am not sure how I would hook into the right layer of the
protocol stack.

I could probably live just above IP for one of my protocols, but another
depends on UDP, so it would be easier to just sit on top of UDP.
