In order to bring ParrotTalk-3.6 support, alongside historical 3.5 support, the frame header stays the same and the processing of the ProtocolOffered would select "ParrotTalk-3.6" to use the compact protocol of

• ProtocolOffered { offered, preferred }
• ProtocolAccepted { accepted }
• IWant|GiveInfo|ReplyInfo { vatId, domain, publicKey, cryptoProtocols, dataEncoders }
• IAm|ReplyInfo { vatId, domain, publicKey, cryptoProtocol, dataEncoder, dhParam }
• Go { cryptoProtocol, dataEncoder, dhParam, signature }
• GoToo { signature }

Using eLinda :

Above the FrameBuffer, below the SessionOperations for each version of the protocol, an ELindaSession could be inserted. This session think would have the stacks for each protocol version SessionOperation registered by protocol in a Tuple, for eventual callback. When the ProtocolOffered comes in we publish the tuple frame, with set selected version, to route to the correct SessionOperation to support each version of the protocol.

With a non-specific vatId required, anonymous connections would be supported.
