I was curious as to what sorts of advanced features you had in ARMI
and the documentation didn't really go into much detail beyond some
usage notes.

Do you have any support for pipelining of requests?

How about for monitoring message traffic or requests for debugging,
checking load balancing, etc?

What sorts of security or authentication do you support?

Can you compare your packing overhead to that of RMI or other
systems? Do you compress your datastreams?

Any more information to explain in more detail how/why ARMI is great
is welcome. :)
