DCCP has no half-close (RFC 4340, 4.6), so closing the socket shuts down both the
read and the write end (i.e. SHUT_RDWR is set by the kernel) - you could test for this.

It would be better to use a different solution. There has also been discussion to use
0-sized packets for keep-alive or congestion messages (I hope that this remains talk only).
