So, we assume that whatever protocol, existing and future, will work with a "virtual connection"?

E.g. in case of TCP, you WILL have separate connections for each TCP candidate - each using a single 5-tuple. We can't say that, with ICE, a single TCP connection can suddenly span multiple 5-tuples (one for each candidate pair), can we?
