Hi there!
I've just started to use v0.49b and it seems to run great so far. However, I noticed a lot of "unusual" packets being processed in AddContact_KADEMLIA2, that is, there are 2 additional tags sent including an integer value, each... and they are *very* common!
Does anyone know about that tags or clients that are sending this data?
Regards,
WiZ

Sorry to disturb again but I have additional information:
The data within the packet has the tag opcode ô (0xF4) and õ (0xF5) which seem to be TAG_USER_COUNT and TAG_FILE_COUNT (if the official descibers were used) - maybe that's used by the AJ clients for their "community toplist feature"?

Wow, it's quite a lot from all over the world.
Are you sure about the source of these polluted tags? I might have to try to ban these ips.

I've noticed that most of these kad contacts have version 4 (0.47c?) or 2, 3 (0.47a-
. Since the ips doing this covered almost the whole world I tend to believe it's just caused by bugs of older kad implementation.
To be sure of the source, check kad code of 0.47c may be a good start.

Yeah, I just found it:
byteIOResponse.WriteTag(&CKadTagUInt(TAG_USER_COUNT, CKademlia::GetPrefs()->GetKademliaUsers()));
byteIOResponse.WriteTag(&CKadTagUInt(TAG_FILE_COUNT, CKademlia::GetPrefs()->GetKademliaFiles()));
these are the additional fields... but I wonder what they were sent for? They weren't used at all...
byteIOResponse.WriteTag(&CKadTagUInt(TAG_USER_COUNT, CKademlia::GetPrefs()->GetKademliaUsers()));
byteIOResponse.WriteTag(&CKadTagUInt(TAG_FILE_COUNT, CKademlia::GetPrefs()->GetKademliaFiles()));

could this be from the early stages and was used for debugging? just guessing, though.

No, there will not be a new version of my mods. No, I do not want your PM. No, I am certain, use the board and quit sending PMs. No, I am not kidding, there will not be a new version of my mods just because of YOU asking for it!

What does this mean please, for some reason I no longer get any contacts on my Kad network.

Nothing to worry about 
Some users/clients are simply sending unnecessary data which just creates some overhead on the network...
