Couple of protocols that would be nice to benchmark for comparison:

* AMQP 1.0 - can also be used for RPC without a broker in between client and server. See https://qpid.apache.org/proton/

* Aeron - low latency, UDP based, see https://github.com/real-logic/aeron

Re proton: I tried to use it in point-to-point mode, but haven't been able to figure out how; Javadoc reference is useless for that. There exist only Python examples but Python APIs don't map 1:1 to Java APIs.

For Java, have a look at vertx-proton which builds on top of proton-j and is a bit more intuitive (still not great) than proton-j for creating servers and clients. :)

Example “blocking” client https://github.com/EnMasseProject/enmasse/blob/master/amqp-u... , but might give an idea of how to set “dynamic source” required for rpc.

In general though I think the Qpid python and c++ examples might be better.
