Hello,

Yes Channel already support transparent distributed message passing among
different processes (among different machines thru ASIO and in the same
machines thru Interprocess shared memory queues), there are tutorial samples
for both scenarios. The messages are marshaled/demarshaled using
Boost.Serialization.
However Channel is for asynchronous message passing, so it is a one-way,
no-return call. To implement request-response style RPC, the caller should
pack a response -id/name in the request message and wait on the
response-id/name; and the callee at the other end can return the result with
the response-id/name.

Regards,
Yigong
