I need to account for packets on a per-session basis, where a session endpoint is a UDP port. So, knowing global protocol numbers is good, but it is not very useful for the detailed accounting I need. I could also use per-socket TCP counters, like re-transmits, etc. I have not looked to see if they are already there or not...
