My understanding is that a raw socket, using ANY of the protocols mentioned or the home-brew options you suggest, will fail if there is nothing on the other end of the pipe. This is where the additional layers of products like MQ come into play --> sockets may form part of the plumbing, but they are far from a complete/robust solution in their own right
