Don't use proto 90-00 and send random broadcasts to it, that
definitely will confuse a number of other systems. 90-00 is the
loopback protocol, which is implemented in a lot of places.
If you're going to pick a protocol number for random protocols, pick
one intended for that purpose. A nice one is 60-00, which is a DEC
number and was assigned by DEC to "Customer use". So you can
reasonably safely use it for uncontrolled use. Certainly you should
be able to count on it not being used by any "real" products.
