For the connection tracking: there would be a much better solution, that's not too hard to implement, in RTT with close-to-zero overhead *and* proper tracking. Basically, it would involve allowing to give an arbitrary name to all connections *and* provide an API to list the names of all the channels currently connected to a port. In Rock, we would use the port URIs as names et voila ...
