data broadcast through firewire

we would like to have a computer broadcast data (2d arrays of SGL) to several other computers at a rate of 20mbyte/s. tcp/ip turns out to be too slow and udp isn't reliable enough, which our application cannot torrelate. all our computers have at least one firewire port. we wonder is there a way to do real-time data broadcast using firewire, maybe through some kind of a firewire amplifier? if not, can we at least transfer data using firewire between two computers? where can we find any example vi's on this? thanks!

Assuming you are using windows ?
You could always enable the TCP/IP Protocol on the FireWire network.
Maybe the FireWire hardware is faster then the ethernet's.

Don't know if this keeps up the speed but it's worth a try.
