Minecraft Datagram Protocol - tokumei - 04-05-2015
I just made something. It's a simple, abstract network protocol mainly intended for sending/receiving raw data. I'm calling it the Minecraft Datagram Protocol, or MDP.
Each packet consists of a header, which is 2 octets long, and a data chunk which can be 0-13 octets long. The header consists of two 4 bit addresses, a 4 bit protocol identifier, and a 4 bit packet size. The first address is the source address, and the second is the destination address. The protocol is an implementation-specific number telling the recipient how the data should be interpreted. Finally, the packet size tells how many octets are in the packet, including header octets.
This is part of a larger project I am working on, which is my own intranet. It is not an Internet, thus it won't span any plots except my own. However, in the future it might be a subnet of someone else's inter plot network.

It's possible to connect this to intOREnet, just a simple little converter. The only thing is that intOREnet addresses are 8 bits long not 4 so hmmmmmmmmmmm
RE: Minecraft Datagram Protocol - tokumei - 04-05-2015
Yeh, but converting from IntOREnet to MDP is easier- You simply have to reserve a netmask for my local network. You shouldn't have to worry about conversion; I'll take care of it with my own hardware.
RE: Minecraft Datagram Protocol - slugdude - 04-05-2015
You see, intOREnet is technically a 6 bit address for each hub. The remaining two bits are for which port on the hub that the device is connected to.
RE: Minecraft Datagram Protocol - tokumei - 04-06-2015
I've worked out the kinks. I'll only have a single address (which will be a bridge that converts the packets) that people on intOREnet can use to talk to me. It'll be exactly like I hooked up a router to IntOREnet.

So this marks 2 subnets that will be connected, urs and IizRs
RE: Minecraft Datagram Protocol - tokumei - 04-07-2015
^ Although it's not necessarily a "subnet". I'll only have a single address on the network, just like an ethernet router makes a network that appears as a single IP address to another network.
RE: Minecraft Datagram Protocol - LordDecapo - 04-08-2015
So then ur making a LAN protocol for your plot that can be connected to a bigger IntOREnet WAN connection... so in a way a subnet
RE: Minecraft Datagram Protocol - tokumei - 04-08-2015
It's not a subnet.
Wikipedia Wrote:A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logical, visible subdivision of an IP network.
A subnet is a logical, visible subdivision. It's not a logical division; it's a physically separate network. It's not directly visible either; it presents itself as a single node on intOREnet just like any other client.
RE: Minecraft Datagram Protocol - LordDecapo - 04-08-2015
Ah, so it's not since it isn't visible.
