Question
What does the 'v'
key value correspond to in Bittorrent Mainline DHT (MDHT) responses?
Here's an example buncoded response:
{'y': b'r',
'r': {'id': b'\x9d\x97\xb5\x8cJ\x8c#\xf4PF\xe3|\xf3\t\xbb#\xdaj\\\xdc'},
't': b'7/',
'v': b'UT[\xf9'}
I can't find this key documented anywhere.
Here are my current sources on the protocol:
Solution
'v'
indicates the client name and version (according to this)
UT: uTorrent
LT: libtorrent
MO: Mono Torrent
...etc
