Okay I ll read about what JCA uses. JCA actually supports several variations and algorithms.
Yes I have a node running that connects to similar new nodes using negtype = 8 (which is JCA) and it also connects to old nodes using the previous negotiation types. On the surface it runs exactly the way it used to. Atleast I have not seen any difference.
