I'm addressing this in the draft (in progress).

UDP can't support the idea; there's no option space.The alternative
would be to reserve a port and assume that bytes after the UDP header
always have the portname, but that seems like a bad idea (interferes
with the separation of header and data supported by DMA, e.g.)

SCTP and DCCP probably can handle a similar option, but that would be
addressed in separate documents.
