I'd say that those requirements are not very specific, since there are many
other aspects which may be important. Two projects which I find "sexy"
lately are ZeroMQ, which is very performant and may support topology you
want out of the box. For transport encoding you could try using MsgPack
which is allegedly very fast.

But generally more details are needed to give good recommendations.

Best,
