Summary0001771: Lowering the flood limit for server query protocol
DescriptionBasically it'd be cool if clients were allowed to send about two query packets per second (possibly limited to version flag).

That way we'd be able to create a pair of custom client/server with protocol enhancements, then from our client query server's version and act accordingly.

Right now the client would bump into flood protection unless it waits 10 seconds before trying to connect (including reconnect attempts).

Got any example of this? The ticket is very vague as-is and doesn't explain why exactly this is necessary.

Example... No example, but the point was that client for example sends a packet to ask server's version, and immediately sends normal client connect packet.

This could be used to have custom servers and "combined" clients that can both work with normal and custom servers. It can be achieved in other ways too, it's just that this is easier.
