I'm not 100% sure, but I think floats are supported.
Have you seen
http://www.ariba-underlay.org/browser/source/ariba/utility/serialization/TestSerialization.cpp
?
It shows some non-supported data type serialization using binary
representations.

TCP's nagle algorithm is disabled by default. I think TCP should give
you reasonable real-time in a small scenario you may consider for your
application.
