Another option, now that I think about it, though, is a TCP option which
contained the service name - one well-known port would be the "demux port",
and which actual application you connected to would depend on the value in
the TCP option.
Like tcpmux, port 1, RFC 1078?
Exactly, except to use a TCP option rather than putting the port name in
the data stream - where it isn't available until the data is already
being exchanged (and ack'd).
