Hello, I have a small variation on a problem that I've seen talked about before, (and I have brought up before) but I've never found a good solution;
Let's imagine I'm programming something akin to the Bittorrent network; I have trackers and peers, and the ip/port addresses of which I do not initially know, but I can contact the tracker to find out. I want to have a single ROUTER socket to communicate with all peers, but in order to do that I need some way of knowing the "identity" of the peer I'm talking to. I can get the identity of a peer when they send a message to me, but neither peer can send the first message (even though they can connect to eachother) because they only know the ip address, not the identity of eachother, and the router doesn't route without the routing code. Short of every peer transmitting it's ip address *and* identity to the tracker, is there a better way to get two ROUTER connections talking to eachother? Thanks! -E
