If there is a hole after 'reasm' there will also be one after 'lobby'.
In any case it can't be worse than the 7 byte pad after pd_mode
in the existing file.
In the other structure there is a uint32 preceding the three
flag bytes - so unless some other stuff is moved making them
bitfields won't change any sizes at all.
FWIW we do use SCTP (for M3UA).
The code has to be an order of magnitude slower than TCP!
Never mind the difficulty in generating long ethernet frames
(since the data flow means you have to disable nagle).
