Hi
In searching FastTrack protocol details, I found the thread in one of Zeropaid.com forums
http://www.zeropaid.com/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3587
that says "there's no detailed protocol info of current FastTrack, but you can find old/modified version in openFT/giFT source code".
Since it was in the general FastTrack forum I'm not sure all those members who have enough developer interest had looked at it, so I'll post a bit modified question in here:
Where can I find general info on the overview of FastTrack network and how it works?
I know its messages are encrypted and it requires reverse engineering to map which command is which, but I have little interest in it since I don't want to make a compatible client. I need its network architecture, but can't find any quick info on the topology of FastTrack, and roles of nodes. I only know there are "supernodes", but not sure how all the network works, in more detailed level.
You may suggest reading openFT source code, but the authors themselves admit that it's premature and subject to change. I searched Google but only found pages about Netscape FastTrack server that is irrerevant.
Can anyone please suggest me any website, papers, etc. that describes FastTrack overview to the degree developers can get good idea on how it works?
TIA
