This is getting off-topic, but is there any reason that src address in the packet header doesn't work? Most (yes, all, I'm being silly) packets have the src address set in the header, and it seems as if it would be a reliable way to determine the uniqueness of a stream, seeing as that is how this strange proprietary protocol named IP does it.
