well, seems to me, if you want to send notifications to the client, then the 
client will have to be sitting there "listening", so in a sense, there's no 
escaping it, whether your doing it yourself or having a library do it for 
you.

i'm not 100% clear on what your trying to achieve. so i'm just throwing out 
some basic thoughts and i'm by no means an expert on network coding.
