Well, in .NET usually most network apps I've been involved in basically deal with Streams and some form of stream readers and writers (either TextReader/Writer derived classes or something like a BinaryReader/Writer). I agree the model in the Java code seems interesting, and I agree manipulating a bunch of byte[] arrays ain't fun, so you'll get no discussion from me on that. That's why I'm proposing understanding the existing code better so we can clean it up a .NETify it a bit, I'm certainly not proposing a complete replacement with a different paradigm.
