We have been testing out various protocols to overcome in our case TCP head-of-line blocking by using the protocols->

SRT: https://github.com/Haivision/srt (C++ wrapper https://github.com/andersc/cppSRTWrapper)

RIST: https://code.videolan.org/rist/rist-cpp

KCP: https://github.com/Unit-X/kcp-cpp

We wrap all data in a common container format https://github.com/agilecontent/efp

To decouple the data from the transport.

Yes the above solutions are media centric but can be used for almost any arbitrary data.

The protocols are not 'fare' so starvation may happen, and must be handled on the application level.
