When one want clarity, one crave for a broken haiku. =) Great summary! As NMDCHub, ash, pto, dch++ and most other hubsofts totally ignore messages it does not understand, sending $ClientVersion <...>| can in no way have a negative effect.

I think this is a great idea. Changes to the protocol, i.e. changing the behavour of the protocol should be avoided or solved by the $Supports command. However, optional extentions are almost free of charge. We can't use version as it is a decimal number, NMDCH would freak out if it received '$Versi...

My experience is that it all boils down to the LANs in either end of the connection. If you are on a smooth network with lots of bandwidth then changing the packet size will of course reduce overhead. But on a larger, conjested, network; ethernet-frames will be corrupted, invalidating ip-packets, wh...

Isn't LogedIn used to control the H: thingy? Or does dc++ simply decrement H: when a MyPass is sent to a hub? Wouldn't it be nice, and more correct, if the LogedIn controlled the H: thingy? Then we could have hubs with so called VIP accounts in which the hub do send LogedIn and H: is decremented. Bu...

ASH will not be the hubsoft that goes astray. However ASH do pend on the fact that GetPass is accepted after MyINFO have been sent from the client.

NOTE: some hub implementations do not consider a client to be in a logged in state before it has sent a $MyINFO. this is the correct behaviour, and the NMDC hub is flawed in this respect.
