Hi, Now I'm slightly confused: My gut tells me that Checksumcrlf@@ would be believable more than say 95% (if not 99%) of the time. I've got the following observations: In the above I assumed no data length checking is employed. - 95% is a bad number in accurate timing applications.

Sure, I assume you refer to the case when you check the data length as well? I meant that the Checksumcrlf@@ byte string could also potentially exist in the data itself, but only in very rare cases (from there the 95% thumb suck). The checksum byte can have any value. You can't use it to

I hope you end up liking the binary format; I'm not sure how it could be improved. It's a bit ugly that you have to do a table lookup in the packet type to get the length. That makes it harder to split the transport layer out into a separate chunk of software. -- These are my opinions,
