[Mldonkey-users] Ports

[Steffen Solyga]

I really hate these "i'm behind a firewall, what can i do?" HOWTOs!
The mldonkey-FAQ isn't much better, either.

What connections are made within the eDonkey network, within the
Overnet network, ...?

My current knowledge so far is:

eDonkey-Clients
---------------
1. eDonkeyClient --> eDonkeyServer      tcp     (usually 4661)
2. eDonkeyClient --> eDonkeyServer      udp     (usually 4665)
3. eDonkeyClient --> eDonkeyClient      tcp     (usually 4662)
==> incoming connections must be allowed for 3. __only__

eDonkey-Servers
---------------
1. eDonkeyClient --> eDonkeyServer      tcp     (usually 4661)
2. eDonkeyClient --> eDonkeyServer      udp     (usually 4665)
3. eDonkeyServer --> eDonkeyServer      ?       (?)
==> incoming connections must be allowed for 1. and 2.
How about server-to-server connections?

Overnet-Nodes
-------------
1. Node --> Node                        tcp     (usually 4662)
2.  ?   -->  ?                          udp     (dynamic)
What data is exchanged by udp?

Gnutella-Nodes
--------------
1. Node --> Node                        tcp     (usually 6346)

Is all that true?
Some links for the protocols available?
Any help appreciated.

Steffen.
