If you decide CORBA does not meet your needs for transferring
a large amount of data, you may want to try DDS (specifically,
OpenDDS):

http://www.opendds.org/

You can obtain releases of OpenDDS from the above site, or you
can access a snapshot directly from SVN:

svn checkout svn://svn.dre.vanderbilt.edu/DOC/DDS/trunk

See build instructions at the above opendds.org community portal
or in docs/INSTALL in the OpenDDS distribution.

Then, take a look at the built-in distributed content example:

examples/DCPS/DistributedContent/

If you need support for OpenDDS, feel free to contact us.
