As you know this is not such a problem for UDP streams however, we
have not worked out all the bugs for services that run on TCP. Oh yeah
it's messy!!! You know it brings a different set of challenges (i.e.,
PITA, Pamela Anderson). It's a tuff world out there guys....

We are however trying to conform to RFC standards as pointed out by
