We send the data packets to the childs via one udp socket, and there is another socket for administration messages (login, tree balancing, crash detection). Currently we have a fixed number on child slots, per default on peer serves 2 child nodes. Further login attempts will be dropped down to another peer.</span></font></pre><pre><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: normal;">The login is protected with a password, you can login to the source node or any other peer of the tree.</span></font></pre><pre><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: normal;">Every 500 ms the peer sends a heartbeat to her parent with some information (eg. the total number of peers in his sub-tree).
