Without going into too much detail (NDAs and such), all the packets will
appear to come from one source. The data in each packet is actually
compressed data from multiple sources, and as such can be processed
individually on separate machines without having to rely on a single
machine getting all the packets from the one source.
So, I guess the question is, how do I go about sending stuff to the
realservers by splitiing it up at the packet level, rather than the
connection level?
