Darren do you have an example of how this would be implemented?   Which
UDP type of protocols should it be used for and so forth?

NFS possibly?  Radius traffic?  Proprietary communication between
servers in a cluster that communicate over UDP? 


This would seem handy to use especially for connections that last longer
than most types of UDP packets that are short and sweet (eg. DNS is
basically packet in and packet out type of thing).

It controls the forward/reverse timeout for packets.
This is primarily of benefit with UDP/ICMP.
