From the Serval development team it was always more or less clear that the
separation between data and control information would be a good idea. It is
something that was never done because of the lack of time.

I would be nice if you could came up with a 2-3 pages small paper with 
the following structure:
- brief description of the current architecture of serval
- description of the performance limitations with examples
- new architecture proposal with two channels for data and control
- performance advantages of the new approach with examples

If you send that to the list, I am sure we all could try to have a look into
it, discuss for a while, and then you could probably start to implement that
new version.

cheers,
