I think using another SSP message within TCP (as mentioned by Scott) would
be better than UDP for the following reasons.

A UDP port needs to be defined for DLSw.

Problems using another transport medium in the future.

Using Hello packets before TCP session may require IP Broadcast or Multicast
messages to be sent at startup, if dynamic discovery of DLSw routers is
intended. Does this pose a problem of exchanging capabilities with DLSw routers
that you do not want to talk to ?
