You don't say what you've done so far, but if you haven't already, I'd
suggest reading up on ZeroMQ, and looking at the existing code in Xapian
(which is mostly in xapian-core/net/).

The remote backend protocol and replication protocol are documented
here:

http://xapian.org/docs/remote_protocol.html
http://xapian.org/docs/replication_protocol.html

The socket-related tickets I am aware of are:

http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/374
http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/546
