There seems to be a conflict between the KIP code and Inside Appletalk
wrt handling RTMP request packets (ddp type 5).

Inside Appletalk (Preliminary Notes, July 14 1986) Fig V-4 clearly
shows the packet being sent to destination socket number 1, and the
text on page V-9 supports this, though not explicitly.

KIP (0287 with cap4 patches) sends the response to the socket that
sent the rtmp request, which makes some sense (though the rationale
in Inside Appletalk wouldn't apply then).

I've never actually seen an RTMP request packet (what actually
uses these things?) so I'm not sure which is actually right.

Would anyone like to make a definitive statement?
