Anyone supplying an answer would be guessing...you haven't really provided much detail.
- Are the clients that submitted the request waiting, on the same socket, for a reply? Or is it fire-and-forget?
- Is the FIFO requirement literal, as in, request #2 blocks until request #1 is fully completed...even if it could be run in parallel? Even if the two requests came from different connected clients?
- How large are the requests (bytes), and response (if there is one)?
- As mentioned in another reply, are the clients on a local LAN or remote? Is cleartext okay? Do the clients need to authenticate?
- Are the clients cell phones? web browsers? Something else?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
