the _network plugin_ is not able to transmit values reliably. There is
no communication from the "server" back to the "client", so losses will
not be noted.

A TCP-based _NetCmd plugin_ is currently in development. It doesn't
currently allow to send values via TCP streams, but the idea is to
(eventually) get there.

Depending on how much dependencies you're willing to accept it might be
worth to evaluate the _AMQP plugin_. Someone once started a _ZeroMQ
plugin_ but it's not in the distribution right now.

I don't have any first-hand experience with SCTP, but as far as I know
it provides reliable datagrams. I haven't seen any work being done in
this direction yet, though.

Hope this helps; best regards,
