Not that I am aware of. Definitely not within the official VLC tree.

I vaguely recall some Chinese (or was it Israeli?) company claimed to have 
written a p2p plugin, but as far as I recall, they never came into compliance 
with our copyright licensing terms, i.e. the GNU General Public License.

Interfacing such Input/Output with VLC should be relatively easy compared with 
writing a reliable real-time streaming protocol and implementation.
