You have *got* to be kidding!

Hey, I'm not the one who wants to recover state. I'm just trying to scam out how it could be done. You've got a good 15.97 bits to work with...

I'd rather not recover state either. That was my point. :-)

It's also kind of hard to cram 32 bits of IP address and X bits of port/application/whatever (where X is small) into 16 bits of port number, without needing some other kind of shared state.

It is for a real proxy. 8-).

"real" proxies are still rewriting packets. They're just spending a lot more to do it. That's okay, though.

"Real" proxies transform data in the application layer, not by rewriting packets at the network layer.

The point is to make it work, not to make it work efficiently.
