That's wrong, is the *.?lo file that is named like that, not the packet
compressed ones, which can be named as you want (as they are in fact listed
inside of the *.?lo and ifcico looks there what to send, it doesn't try
to find them fro mthe name, whith the only exception of those *.?lo and *.req)
The compressed packets are however named upon a logical scheme, it is
(my net) - (his net) for the 4 first digits,
and (my node) - (his node) + (his point) for the last 4 ones.
So, if you are a point and call your boss the packets are 00000000.*
Ex: 1:23/45.6 calls 1:23/45.0
23 - 23 = 0
45 - 45 + 0 = 0
--> 00000000.*
he calls 1:23/45.8, his friend:
23 - 23 = 0
45 - 45 + 8 = 8
--> 00000008.*
he calls 2:34/56
23 - 34 = -11 = fff5
45 - 56 + 0 = -11 = fff5
--> fff5fff5.*
etc.
Look at function arcname() in iflib/pktname.c
