Current CM software could generate the Serive ID. Therefore the fact that the Private Data is in the "new format" cannot be part of the Service ID. Otherwise I agree with your analysis that data can be moved to the Serivce ID. Which is more valuable, 4 more bytes of private data or a very larger number of Service IDS, is another topic. > To be clear, the CM REQ _carries_ the IP address.
