For that matter, you might as well do what CHAOS did: add arguments to the 'contact name'. You could even use the urgent pointer to delimit the end of the contact/name arguments! In the CHAOS protocol, there is only one type of connection: you connect with a packet that has contact name and arguments. There is no 'datagram equivalent'. I guess I'm not sure what the UDP problem is, possibly because I don't know how UDP connections get started. Isn't there a 'first' packet that can include the contact name?
