all fine and dandy that you use the pings to see if there's a connection, but you can cut those out completely, and have the request function as ping request as well.

and to be frank I really don't see the use in sending multiple ping packets before opening a connection. if a host can't be reached, it won't receive ping packets in the first place.

You seem to be expecting 100% reliability and no packet drops. A makes sure it can connect to B and B makes sure it can connect to A, then the connection continues. Also, you seem to have conglomerated your protocol request and the packet naming the type of protocol, this dramatically reduces your potential request and protocol type data space and so, looking in to the future is a poor idea.
