If the goal is to support direct client-to-client I/O you're going to have to 
tune the D-Bus specification to:
- tolerate packet loss
- tolerate malformatted messages
(i.e. drop them individually instead of giving up),
- drop support for file descriptors passing (oops!).

I think.


As for large messages, I think D-Bus should not be used for that purpose in 
the first place...
