Very briefly, they are an optimization to avoid a lookup. Instead of
receiving a port name and looking up the associated object from it,
we use protected payloads, which are merely user-assigned arbitrary
values associated to ports, to store the address of the associated
object directly, and that's what you receive instead of the port
name.
