I need to account for packets on a per-session basis, where a
session endpoint is a UDP port. So, knowing global protocol numbers is
good, but it is not very useful for the detailed accounting I
need.
Why can't you just disable the other UDP services, and then there is
no question which UDP server/client is causing the drops.
Every argument I hear is one out of lazyness. And that is not a
reason to add something. Simply put, I don't want to add all of this
per-socket counter bumping that only, at best, 1 tenth of 1 percent
of people will use. This means that the rest of the world eats the
overhead just for this small group that actually uses it.
