Error in UDP documentation

[josecelano]

On the UDP docs: https://www.rasterbar.com/products/libtorrent/udp_tracker_protocol.html

The first field in the connection request is the protocol_id, not the connection_id.

I actually think it's deliberately named connection_id. You'll note that every request message has the same 3 first fields, and every response message has the same 2 first fields.

You're right that the value in that field is the protocol ID, but the field is the same regardless of which action is being requested.

Thank you @arvidn, in the BEP 15 they call it protocol_id.

Unless you mean it's deliberately named on this particular implementation documentation.
