[Tom P.] Yes, this is a useful side-effect of the encapsulation.  I know that some people feel that the only place transport protocols should be implemented is in the kernel, but, as I said in a previous meeting, nowadays the net effect of that is to make Microsoft the gatekeeper for deploying new transport protocols.  I don't think we want that.
