As far as I can tell from briefly looking at the framework, this would require both a fabric module (which is nicely abstracted) and a new protocol (which doesn't seem to be). Is there any documentation of how to add a new LIO protocol? And what is the difference between a protocol and a fabric? Regards, Clemens
