What exactly would you want to do with this information? Since the UDP transport has no integrity checking of any kind, and only anonymous requests are supported, I don't see that you can make any meaningful policy decisions here. The address is logged for informational purposes, but relying on it for anything else seems like a bad idea.Because connectionless clients share a single connection structure, their address (ie. the peer address) cannot be associated with a connection. However, it would be useful to have the peer address stored as part of the operation structure, so it can be made available to SLAPI plugins.
Thoughts?
