Answer 1

The real-time need (if taken literally) cuts a lot of choices: the HTTP protocol is not real-time and so anything above it (including SOAP and REST) shares the same weakness. If this is a strong requirement you should look at the RTP protocol or something else that (at least) does not do handshaking.
