Sorry for my ignorance.
Im didnt a programer but is it possible to make the program modular?
Like in Hardware. In Europe you HD, HD+, DAB etc pp. every some years there change the standards so you need a new TV/Radio or a converterbox.

For this one i have in the last years a mediacenter. If they change the standard, i buy only e new USB-Device/PCIe-Device to send and receive. The hole Mediacenter is the same.

Is it possible to made the program and only a library responsable for the protocol? So if somewhat change. We, (someone only have to adapt the library?
