This doesn't directly answer your question, but...

If each protocol layer speaks directly to the layers immediately above
it and below it, where the bottom-most layer speaks directly to
Boost.Asio, this could be an ideal use case for Boost.Coroutine and
(at the bottom) its Asio integration. You could write each layer as
simple procedural code, yielding control to the layer above or the
layer below.
