perhaps the best way would be to do this updating in the sending code itself.
first there would be a 'current time thread', which updates a global shared variable that shows the current time. (ie. no extra system-call is needed to access current time.) If the header-sending code detects that current time is not equal to the timestamp stored in the header itself, then the header is reconstructed. Pretty simple.
