The current unicast packet type does not contain the orig source address. This

which injected the packet into the network and the latter is useful to avoid
creating new unicast packet types in the future: a macro defining a new subtype
will be enough.

Hello people,

I was wondering...what about adding a "payload_size" field to the new packet?

The handling code would probably be generic enough to handle any future change
leading to a more stable compat_version (instead of increasing its value
everyday).
