A yes. I belive you are right.

A bit large yes..
I do though think that this is the best way to with 100% certainy identify 
individual calcs.
I still think a dynamic adressing scheme is preferrable.
Anyway, in a normal multiplayergame adressing is not a problem. just let 
player 1 have ID1, player 2 have ID2 and so on. Doesn't support multiple 
games on the same wire, but for some reason I don't think that is that a 
likley scenario...
