Since this question keeps coming up and also seems to be the reason for the
confusion, let me make it clear once more: There is no special protocol
treatment in any way. No added cost, no protocol change, no magic commandline
switches, etc. It simply is not necessary!

This concept is so plain simple that everybody keeps wondering what we are
hiding. You are looking for something that is not there.

Cheers,
