Well, this was only proposed for TCP. I'm not sure if we should consider
something similar for UDP. Basically, UDP based protocols can be easily
written to handle the peer address change on the application layer.
However, if we want to support existing UDP applications that for
example connect() their socket to a destination address, we'd need to
device something similar for UDP as well. Do you think we need this?
