All I can see are hardcoded ping/pong “meow” messages going over a hardcoded client and server.

But maybe the ping/pong is part of the protocol?

It’s not clear.

Anyway, this redundancy-based protocol doesn’t seem to take into account that too many packets over the network can be a cause of bad, “overloaded” network conditions.

Raptorq is a nice addition, though.
