Handshake

The following files contain handshake code:

• G1Neighbour.cpp
• G2Neighbour.cpp
• Handshake.cpp
• Handshakes.cpp
• Neighbour.cpp
• NeighboursWithConnect.cpp
• NeighboursBase.cpp
• Network.cpp
• ShakeNeighbour.cpp

The first thing a Gnutella program tells another is GNUTELLA CONNECT. If you search the source code for this, it's in CShakeNeighbour. This class inherits from CNeighbour(PROTOCOL_NULL). So, I'll start at the top of Neighbour.cpp.

It looks like CNeighbour represents a remote computer somewhere on the Internet that Shareaza has connected to. It's the base class for CEDNeighbour, CG1Neighbour, and CG2Neighbour, the objects that represent a connected computer running eDonkey2000, Gnutella, and Gnutella2.

CNeighbour inherts from CConnection. I'm going to comment these two classes first.
