FYI, there is also O2: https://github.com/rbdannenberg/o2

"O2 is a new communication protocol and implementation for music systems that 
aims to replace Open Sound Control (OSC). Many computer musicians routinely deal 
with problems of interconnection in local area networks, unreliable message 
delivery, and clock synchronization. O2 solves these problems, offering named 
services, automatic network address discovery, clock synchronization, and a 
reliable message delivery option, as well as interoperability with existing OSC 
libraries and applications. Aside from these new features, O2 owes much of its 
design to OSC and is mostly compatible with and similar to OSC. O2 addresses the 
problems of inter-process communication with a minimum of complexity."
