Comment (by karsten):

 This looks like a very promising approach! Some thoughts:

  - We're currently using TGen 0.0.1. It sounds like we would first have to
 upgrade to 1.0.0 in order to use this feature (#33974).

  - If we're concerned about `tgen` generated SOCKS credentials not being
 long enough to avoid conflicts, we could additionally look at source ports
 to match transfers and streams.
