PING - Pinger extension
Added as of 2008-03-14 to specification, based on ADC 1.0. Proposed by Pietry
This extension can be supported by both clients and hubs, and when present, if hub supports it, it must send additional information to the client ( otherwise normal base client).
It's purpose is to send to hublist pingers additional information about the hub that otherwise it would be impossible to get as a normal user (eg. minimum share, maximum user count, etc).
Main article: PING
REF - Referral from Client
Added as of 2009-02-01 to specification, ADC 1.0. Proposed by Jan Vidar Krey
This extension proposes an identification referral for client-client connections, in order for the other connection party to know the hub source of the connection.
