@ -34,20 +34,21 @@ command, and usually the connection will be closed.
Since the protocol is a simple line based, its possible to manually connect to
the server using a tool like netcat. A few things should be noted when manually
using the protocol:
* When subscribing to a stream using ``REPLICATE``, the special token ``NOW`` can
be used to get all future updates. The special stream name ``ALL`` can be used
with ``NOW`` to subscribe to all available streams.
* The federation stream is only available if federation sending has been
disabled on the main process.
* The server will only time connections out that have sent a ``PING`` command.
If a ping is sent then the connection will be closed if no further commands
are receieved within 15s. Both the client and server protocol implementations
will send an initial PING on connection and ensure at least one command every
5s is sent (not necessarily ``PING``).
* ``RDATA`` commands *usually* include a numeric token, however if the stream
has multiple rows to replicate per token the server will send multiple
``RDATA`` commands, with all but the last having a token of ``batch``. See
the documentation on ``commands.RdataCommand`` for further details.

When a new connection is made, the server:
* Sends a ``SERVER`` command, which includes the identity of the server, allowing
the client to detect if its connected to the expected server
* Sends a ``PING`` command as above, to enable the client to time out connections
promptly.

The client:
* Sends a ``NAME`` command, allowing the server to associate a human friendly
name with the connection. This is optional.
* Sends a ``PING`` as above
* For each stream the client wishes to subscribe to it sends a ``REPLICATE``
with the stream_name and token it wants to subscribe from.
* On receipt of a ``SERVER`` command, checks that the server name matches the
expected server name.
