Hi Sasha,
Thanks for taking a look.

Agreed, we're sorely lacking in proper documentation for the internal protocol. We're in the process of writing such a specification and will post it to LKML next week at the latest.

Correct, we have a legacy protocol and a v2, the latter now being the default. This particular packet is sent by the client when initiating a STREAM connection. The sequence is REQUEST(2)-> NEGOTIATE(2)->OFFER->ACCEPT. It will be properly documented in the specification we post next week.
Thanks! - Andy
