    360: Connecting to Particular Users

    I want specify what session to connect to in an Xbox Live network environment?  (and no, this has nothing to do with my earlier concept of building an XNA database server on a 360)  From what I understand, network games have a number of fields to describe themselves.  Could I connect based on a unique identifier in one of those fields?

    Sure, as long as you have some mechanism for both parties to agree on what this identifier should be.

    I think easiest would be to take 5 of the ints, and pack a gamertag of the person hosting in there, four latin characters to an int.

    When matching, you can then have a function to "match any friend" or "match a selected friend." If your friends list is really long, that might take a while, as you'd have to try querying for each friend separately, unless you know there will be less than 25 sessions hosted, in which case you can query for all and do your own matching.

    That would be an interesting way to do things.  Cool idea.
