Yes, but how do you handle retries? Sending and receiving is not an
issue. I even know where its going or came from. The tricky part is
once its left, how do I kick off a timer for the acknowledgement? And
when that timer fires, how will I know which timer fired since I may
have quite a few timers active at once?

I don't want to rewrite the packet engine with your libs if I'm still
back wondering how to do the retries.

Thanks,
Matthew
