For what it's worth, Vertex includes an *implementation* of TCP, on top of UDP instead of IP. You can run any Twisted stream-based protocol with Vertex, you don't need to send UDP datagrams around. (In fact, Vertex _only_ provides a stream-based transport; the UDP part is an implementation detail. If possible, vertex will try to use TCP first, and could be modified to use a techniques such as the ones described in <http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/net/p2pnat/> section 4 to speak real TCP instead.)
