Hi,
  I've built my own Rpc framework to communicate between a PC and an
embedded system. I ended up rolling my own since there were a few
features I needed that I couldn't find anywhere else. In particular

. Cross Language support - I wanted to be able to talk between a C#
application and a C++ application. (arguably this is beyond the scope of
boost)
. Support for providing my own transport layer - we communicate over a
custom USB connection - pretty much all the implementations I found
assumed http

Hi,

you could also take a look to this work by Jarl Lindrud 
(http://www.codeproject.com/KB/threads/Rcf_Ipc_For_Cpp.aspx), which is 
already based on boost (uses boost asio and boost serialization, but
also 
provides custom alternatives for both), but it's not in the form of a
boost 
library. In the past there has been some discussion about possible 
integration between this library and boost.interface.
As a user, I'd highly appreciate to have one such library in boost (I'm 
currently using the library by Lindrud in several projects).

Paolo
