    Out of curiousity: How do you plan to handle incoming packets?
    How do you tell which process an incoming packet is destined for?
    
    (Some students in my security class proposed one possible trick
    for handling this, but I'm curious to hear what your plans are.
    The trick is very clever, but it has some practical drawbacks.)
