Hi Vicente, just a quick status update: This week I implemented generating, sending and receiving peer IDs to the NTS classes (diff: [1]). The next step will be sending the keepalive packets in a timer and keeping a list of currently connecting peers.
This weekend I will pause development, as I have exams tomorrow and on Monday. >From monday on I will continue work, with more time per week as classes have finished today.

Currently the different message types > are overseeable, so I'll stick to the current solution. It appears more and more that some message typing (just a 1 byte prefix, maybe later 2 bytes) would help in differentiating the packets. IIRC, currently the biggest packet size is 1026 bytes, so adding 1-2 bytes would not exceed the MTU of ~1500 bytes. Maybe this is something to implement towards the end of the project this summer. What do you think?
