How about BEEP ?
It's not only P2P protocol, but also refactoring of some protocols.

This boils down to providing two distinct benefits.
1: Programs can easily perform complex communications over a single port.
2: Without multiple streams, problems can occur when there are multiple clients
behind a proxy connecting to a host outside of the proxy. If the client only
forms a single connection to the host, there won't be a problem because the random
source port will differentiate each stream. So, when multiple clients connect to
a host from behind a proxy, the host can only differentiate each stream by the
random source port. So, when the clients form a second connection to the host,
each stream gets differentiated from each other, but there is no mapping of random
source port ot the distinct client.
What you are asking for here is: http://chorus.sourceforge.net/ ... in my slightly biased opinion. ;-)
This gives you a stackable transport framework which includes (among other
things) a multiplexed channel.
This project is still really new, but is shaping up nicely.
However, it has no relation to boost and is primarily targetted at building
distributed hash tables (p2p apps) that can go through any data channel.
