We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

Add to your list VI Server calls.
They have woked very well for me in a bunch of applications.
Typically I'll make "call by reference" calls to an action engine of some type.
I think of them as "TCP/IP" but I let LV handle the session data conversion etc.
They are well suited for changing PID values on the fly.
I suspect they would place below TCP/IP transfers that use an optimized packet size but otherwise they are pretty quick.
Draw backs are you have to understand VI server calls and manage the serving and addressing of the remote calls.

PS This technology works back to LV 5.1.
PPS Rule out UDP. That is like trying to talk to your boss by using grafetti on busses. Sure the message may get through but you are never really sure.

Ben--
Any chance you have an example or reference to demonstrate the comment you made long ago? You said , "Draw backs are you have to understand VI server calls and manage the serving and addressing of the remote calls." What should us newbies know to use this approach?
Thanks.

STM:
Advantage: Simple to use, Powerful
Disadvantage: Messagebased => can only transfer data in predefined messages
Example for "how to use STM": In-Vehicle Datalogger Reference Architecture for CompactRIO
hope this helps,
