Detailed Description

Protocol version negotiation packet structure (Packet Type 1).

Initial handshake packet sent by both client and server to negotiate protocol capabilities, version, compression, and optional features.

Note

This is the first packet exchanged in every connection.

Structure is 16 bytes total (packed).
