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.

> Every 500 ms the peer sends a heartbeat to her parent with some information (eg. the total number of peers in his sub-tree). This is used for crash detection and tree balancing.
