Have a peer send a beginning-of-file (BOF) notice before sending any associated data-piece notices. The BOF notice can contain all the file's metadata and a key. Then, reduce the metadata in the data-piece notices to just the key and the piece-index. I think orphaned piece-notices (those without a previous BOF notice) can be ignored.
