Actually the response to a RPC call to the server does not need to in any way
encoding the returning packet value at all because of the way responses work
since they are linked to keys.

I had an idea, instead of waiting on a single lock for responses, it could
instead wait on a lock based on a lower set of bits in the key. So say if two
packets are waiting for a response on a given key at the same time, when a
single response is generated all threads are notified of the response. But
with them waiting on one lock, the wake up order is random, so two threads
awaiting a response might not wake up in the correct order wasting some
cycles.
