UDP packets already include their lengths and checksums. If you can
transmit each SyncBlock in a single UDP packet, then SyncBlocks become
redundant. The operating system will determine whether the packet
arrived intact and do all the work for you.
Something like SyncStream would still be useful for pushing data
across a bare wire or unreliable modem, though.
