Socket identification key

[Jarl André" <jarl.andre at gmail.com>]

Hi

I have searched high and low to figure this one out. There does 
not seems to be a an accessible way of getting a unique key for a 
socket. I have learned that port numbers count a great deal but 
really shouldn't there be some internal numbering or 
representation of each socket that the developer can use in maps 
etc? Lets say I want to store statistics for each individual 
client, but I don't want the client to "log in" or something 
similiar. I want to automatically remember the handshake done by 
the underlying TCP connection.

Is it possible to retrieve a unique key for a given socket? If 
this has been discussed before it is very well hidden in the 
depths of asgar, so please then enlighten me.

Cheers.
