What happens with LDP-over-UDP?  Is there one PDU per UDP packet?

If so, the loop should be done only for TCP.

Also, each LDP PDU should get its own top-level tree; that's the way
other protocols are handled when operating over TCP.

I'll look into that.

(It should probably also handle TCP desegmentation as well.)
