Perhaps it can be made ever so slightly less ugly if endpoints get an "address" that consists of a 32 bit IP address + (n) upper bits of port number.
This might be 4 significant bits to share an IP 16 ways, or 8 significant bits to share it 256 ways, or whatever.
And you store the 4 or 8 bits in what part of the IPv4 header, exactly?
Nobody uses the TOS bits, do they? ;-) -- Leigh ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
