Thanks for this analysis.
Sadly, a variable-sized heartbeat payload was probably necessary, at
least for the DTLS case: for PMTU discovery.
Once more, a lack of an IDL, standard encoding, and tools, has hurt us.
Hand-coded parsers/encoders are disasters waiting to happen.
Is there an existing idl for messages such that interface descriptions
that can be compiled into parsers and encoders?
(microsoft's idl is inherently function oriented, rather than message
oriented, leading to disastrous results when they somehow stretched it
for message passing environments)
